Comparison of efficiency of mobile learning method and expository teaching method in cardiopulmonary resuscitation training

İNTRODUCTİON AND AİM: This study was planned to evaluate the effect of mobile learning on the development of cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge in nursing students. The sub-objectives of the study are to assess whether there is a difference between mobile learning and narrative and learning groups and to ensure that the results obtained are a guide to the education curriculum. METHODS: The study included 60 people studying at the 3rd grade of Ege University Nursing Faculty. As data collection form; a data form questioned for sociodemographic information, and a form for determining the level of information for CPR, consisting of 40 questions, about general information about CPR, basic life support, and information about support for advanced cardiac life. RESULTS: This research was attended by 60 people who attended Ege University Faculty of Nursing 3rd Graduate School. 85% of the students were female and 15% were male. The average age of participants in our study was 21.8 ± 0.9 (min: 20-max: 24) years. When the expression method group is evaluated within itself; It was determined that the difference between the points taken by the students before the expression, the test performed immediately after the lecture, the last test after one week and the retesting stage after one month were statistically significant (p<0,001). When the mobile learning method group is evaluated within itself; The difference between the points taken by the students in the pre-test, post-test and retest stages was statistically significant (p<0,001). When the mean scores of the two groups were compared, it was determined that the difference between the groups was not statistically significant. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Given the updated knowledge, theoretical and practical training, students can gain more self confidence, more effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and consequently less neurological damage and more survival.
