Effect of Simulation-Based Education of Adult BLS-CPR on Nursing Students' Skills and Knowledge Acquisition.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: Cardiopulmonary arrest is a life-threatening condition where initiating and performing effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is extremely connected to patient outcome. Therefore, acquisition of knowledge and skills related to basic life support is very important for nursing students as future workers. In this study, we aimed to assess the effect of a simulation-based education of adult basic life support cardiopulmonary resuscitation (BLS-CPR) on the acquisition of knowledge and skills among nursing students. Subjects and methods: This study used a post-test nonequivalent control group quasi-experimental design. It was conducted in the medicine faculty's clinical simulation center among second-year nursing students, enrolled in public and private institutes of nursing education in Sousse, Tunisia, during the 2022/2023 academic year. In this study, convenience sampling was used to recruit 240 nursing students who were assigned using the simple random allocation into two groups. The students designated as the control group (n = 130) received two hours of the conventional BLS education lecture. And the intervention group (n = 110) received the same lecture with added structured simulation-based education of adult BLS-CPR. Adult Basic Life Support Knowledge Questionnaire and Adult Basic Life Support Observation Checklist were used to assess Students' knowledge and practices acquisition in both groups. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques in SPSS 26. Results: The mean post-test BLS-CPR's knowledge and skills scores were higher in the intervention group compared to the control group. In addition, students from the public institute showed a higher score in both control and intervention groups with significant p values, respectively, for the BLS-CPR Knowledge score (<0.001; 0.039) and the BLS-CPR Skills score (<0.001; <0.0001). Conclusion: Simulation-based adult BLS-CPR education is an effective method that improves nursing students' skills and knowledge acquisition.
