q2 i? The review identified a consistent increase across studies, with post-intervention scores 20–50% above pre-intervention scores. → Alharbi 2024 q2 i? In Demirtas et al.'s CPR training study, the mean CPR skills score improved from 22.29 ± 5.07 to 32.51 ± 1.80, a 45.9% improvement (p < 0.001 reported in the study table). → Alharbi 2024 (2)

q2 · i? · review · r3

Narrative synthesis across the included pre/post studies. The review reports "an increase ranging from 20 to 50%" in post- over pre-intervention scores; no pooled effect size was computed.

"Furthermore, there was an improvement in the knowledge and skill acquisition as the review identified a consistent increase across studies, with post-intervention scores showing an increase ranging from 20 to 50% compared to pre-intervention scores."

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Quasi-experimental pre/post study of 89 fourth-year nursing students in Turkey using medium-fidelity CPR simulation. The review reports the printed means and the "45.9% improvement in CPR skills"; the study table reports p < 0.001 for the skills gain.

"Additionally, the mean CPR skills score improved from 22.29 ± 5.07 pre-test to 32.51 ± 1.80 post-test, resulting in a 45.9% improvement in CPR skills."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Simulation-based learning consistently improves nursing students' knowledge and skills acquisition across diverse designs and simulation topics — a broader claim this one bears on
• Evidence on SBL retention of knowledge and skills is mixed and limited to two-to-five-month follow-ups — related
• Simulation-based learning improves practical skill test scores in endocrinology education compared with non-simulation-based learning — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• The long-term impact of simulation-based learning on knowledge retention and clinical practice remains uncertain — related
