Clinical Trial Summary

Aim: The aim of this study, evaluating the effects of different simulation methods (virtual reality assisted simulation, high reality simulation, low reality simulation) used in Adult Basic Life Support (BLS) training on knowledge, skills, self-efficacy and satisfaction characteristics in Layperson First Aider

Description:

Aim: The aim of this study, evaluating the effects of different simulation methods (virtual reality assisted simulation, high reality simulation, low reality simulation) used in Adult Basic Life Support (BLS) training on knowledge, skills, self-efficacy and satisfaction characteristics in Layperson First Aider Material and Method: The population of the research consists of participants in the TYD and OED (Automatic External Defibrillator) training with participation certificate to be given to public institutions by the Ministry of Health in Ankara between 01.01.2024 and 10.03.2024. Power analysis was performed using the G*Power (v3.1.9) program to determine the sample size. The medium effect size (d=0.45) used in a previous similar study was calculated at the end of the study as. Type I error α=0.05, Study power 1-β (β=Type II error probability) 0.8, and 3 groups were calculated by means of a statistical power analysis. The estimated total sample size of all intervention groups was 51. Considering that there may be losses during the study process, it was decided to recruit 20 people in each group.This study was designed as a prospective randomized controlled trial. As data collection tools: Introductory Characteristics Form, General Self-Efficacy Scale (GAS), Basic Life Support Knowledge Level Evaluation Form, Basic Life Support Application Skill Form, Basic Life Support Self-Efficacy Questionnaire and Basic Life Support Education Satisfaction Questionnaire were used.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Basic Life Support (BLS) Knowledge Level Evaluation	20 multiple-choice questionnaires aimed at measuring the BLS knowledge level prepared by the researcher in line with the relevant literature. It is evaluated on the basis of the highest 20 and the lowest 0 points. Getting high scores from the questions indicates a high level of BLS knowledge. Application process; pre-test, post-training post-test and 3-month post-test.	3 months
Primary	Basic Life Support Application Skill	Basic Life Support Application Skill Form: BLS skill evaluation form used by the Ministry of Health. It consists of 11 questions. The highest score is 20 and the lowest is 0. Getting high scores from the questions indicates a high level of BLS skill level. Application process; post-training test and 3-month post-test.	3 months
Primary	Basic Life Support Self-Efficacy	It was created to measure self-efficacy in emergency CPR, based on the General Self-Efficacy Scale. 4 items are 7-point Likert type. Getting high scores on the items indicates a high level of general self-efficacy. Application process; post-training test and 3-month post-test.	3 months
Primary	Basic Life Support Training Satisfaction	A choice will be made between 0 and 10. "0" indicates I am not satisfied at all, "10" indicates I am very satisfied. Application process; post-training testing.	3 days
Secondary	General Self-Efficacy Scale (GÖYS)	The number of items is 10. The scale was prepared as a 4-point Likert type. Getting high scores on the items indicates a high level of general self-efficacy. Application process; pre-training test.	3 days
