Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Despite the transformative role of digital technologies in education in recent years, globally, BLS training is predominantly conducted using traditional methods. In the traditional approach, the instructor initially provides theoretical knowledge on BLS and then conducts practical skill training using CPR mannequins. At the end of the training, students practice what they have learned on the mannequin under the instructor's supervision. However, research indicates that, despite its widespread use, the traditional method alone is insufficient and that knowledge and skills acquired through this approach may fade over time. The primary limitations of the traditional method include large class sizes, insufficient instructor numbers, time constraints, and the limited opportunity for each student to practice adequately.
On the other hand, various studies emphasize the importance of traditional education and suggest that its effectiveness can be enhanced, and the retention of skills prolonged when supplemented with alternative methods. For instance, a study by Castillo et al. (2020) highlighted that hybrid approaches combining traditional BLS training with other instructional methods improved knowledge retention. Therefore, it is recommended that traditional methods be supported by evidence-based new approaches to enhance educational efficiency. Among these methods, video-assisted training, when combined with face-to-face theoretical education, has been shown to improve students' knowledge and skill levels in BLS. However, research on this subject remains limited, and the ideal methodology for teaching correct intervention knowledge and skills in cardiac arrest and ensuring their retention has yet to be determined. To achieve the goal of delivering high-quality resuscitation, further exploration of new methodologies and technologies is needed.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Video Training Group
One week after all students will have received verbal instruction on adult basic life support (BLS), students assigned to the Video Training Group will be provided with reinforcement training before the laboratory practice by watching a video on the topic of "Adult Basic Life Support." The video will be presented via projection by the researchers. This video will aim to reinforce students' knowledge of adult BLS.
Video Training The video used for the training was titled "Basic Life Support and AED Usage - Adult (BLS)", which was prepared according to the 2021 ERC guidelines and made available on the 'Paramedic Online' YouTube channel as of May 31, 2023 (Paramedic Online, 2023). The video covered key topics within basic life support, including chest compressions, artificial respiration, and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED).
verbal basic life support training
Both groups will be given verbal adult basic life support training simultaneously, on a day and time that will not conflict with the students' class schedules. The "Adult Basic Life Support Training" presentation published by the Ministry of Health in 2021 will be used in the training and will last approximately 40 minutes.
A week after the verbal training, a basic life support application for adults will be held in the Faculty of Medicine Skills Laboratory.
video training
One week after all students are given verbal adult basic life support training, a video titled "Adult Basic Life Support" will be shown to the students in the video training group before the laboratory application. The video will be shown by the researcher using a projector. After the video watching process is completed, each student will apply basic life support on the adult training model in turn and the applications will be evaluated individually. In the video training, the video titled "Basic Life Support and AED Use - Adult (TYD)", which was published as open access on the 'paramedic online' YouTube channel on May 31, 2023 and prepared in accordance with the 2021 ERC guideline, will be used (Paramedic online, 2023). This video covers the topics of heart massage, artificial respiration and automatic external defibrillator use within the scope of basic life support.
Interactive Video Game Group
The intervention group will be called the video game group. After the students in this group are given verbal adult basic life support (BLS) training, reinforcement training will be provided with the interactive video game called "Lifesaver" before the laboratory application. The researcher will provide detailed information to the students about the purpose, content and use of the interactive video game, and then the game will be downloaded to the students from Google Play or the App Store.
The students will play the game under the supervision of the researcher based on their individual reasoning. Since there is no Turkish language support during the game, the researchers will contribute to the reinforcement of correct understanding by providing translation support when necessary. The aim of the Lifesaver game is to reinforce the students' knowledge and skills on adult basic life support by taking the "Harry" scenario as the basis.

Interactive game intervention
The interactive game group will be given reinforcement training before the laboratory application. Here, each student will play the game accompanied by a researcher.
Lifesaver is an educational game developed by the Resuscitation Council (UK), offered in English and completely free of charge. The game can be downloaded to computers, phones or tablets from Google Play or the App Store. Lifesaver includes four different interactive video scenarios to help users develop their lifesaving skills. The "Harry" scenario to be used in this research is based on a real case. In the scenario, Harry, a high school student who has a sudden heart attack while playing football, is given heart massage, CPR and defibrillation by his friends.
The game offers different options at each stage to improve the players' knowledge and skill levels. If a wrong choice is made, the same section is played again until the correct step is performed. The completion time of the game may vary average 15 minutes.
