Background and Aim: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a critical intervention in response to cardiopulmonary arrest. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of video self-assessment training on the competency in basic CPR performance and the satisfaction of nursing students.
Materials and Methods: This interventional study was conducted on 54 nursing students who were randomly assigned to two groups: video self-assessment training and workshop-based training. A questionnaire comprising five sections demographic information, knowledge, attitude, performance, and satisfaction regarding basic CPR was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25 at a significance level of 0.05, before and immediately after the intervention.
Results: There were no significant demographic differences between the groups at baseline (p > 0.05). Both educational methods significantly improved students’ knowledge and performance. However, immediately after the intervention, the video self-assessment group demonstrated significantly higher scores in knowledge, performance, and satisfaction compared to the workshop group (p < 0.001). Although the attitude of students in the video self-assessment group improved after the intervention, this change was not statistically significant (p > 0.05)
Conclusion: The video self-assessment method enables students to analyze their own performance and improve by addressing weaknesses. Based on the findings of this study, incorporating this method into nursing education programs is recommended.
