The examiner will rate the participants’ actions based on the sequence of steps on the 10-item checklist for practical evaluation. Points will be given for actions performed correctly in sequence, and for the effectiveness and quality of chest compressions. Higher scores indicate better knowledge.;CPR Clinical Skills.

The tests for CPR skills will be completed by the researchers, who observed the students individually. All students will be evaluated on the same mock code situation for the skill test. The possible range of scores for each test was 0 to 25. Each student received 1 point for each of the skills they performed correctly and in the correct order; no points were granted for not performing the skill, performing in the incorrect order, or performing incorrectly.;Clinical Performance.

Participants will be reassessed individually for their practical performance by examiners, blinded to group assignment, and rate the participants’ actions on a 20-min simulated scenario of cardiac arrest using a CPR training manikin.
