Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: The sample group determined by the stratified sampling method from the departments of the education faculty will be selected according to the simple random sampling method and distributed to the groups as 38 digital storytelling and 38 face-to-face applied training groups. In this pretest-posttest experimental study, data will be collected by using the student descriptive characteristics form, Basic Life Support Information Form and Basic Life Support Skills Evaluation Form in the pre-test. After the pre-test, BLS training will be carried out with digital storytelling for one group and face-to-face applied to the other group. The initiatives of both groups will last two months according to the program. After the training, post-test applications will be given to both groups. A permanence test will be given to both groups 1 month after the post-test.
Primary purpose: HEALTH_SERVICES_RESEARCH

Brief summary: Today, circulatory system and heart diseases, especially hypertension, are increasing day by day, and sudden and unexpected cardiac arrests due to these diseases are more common. Therefore, in the face of cardiac arrest that can develop without a certainty of time and place, Basic Life Support (TYD) is an important intervention that can save the lives of individuals with the least damage. Training on BLS, which is compulsory for healthcare professionals, is also given to some employees selected from other institutions. From this point of view, future teacher candidates who can be a role model in the society, at the same time reflect the importance of the subject to the group they work with and continue to teach, are an important group in terms of these trainings. Therefore, in this study, digital storytelling and face-to-face applied techniques will be given to teacher candidates via social media (Whatsapp) and the impact of these trainings on the knowledge and skill levels of teacher candidates will be evaluated comparatively.

Detailed description: Purpose In order to develop knowledge and skills for a certain period of time, training is required for the BLS intervention to be performed in cases of cardiac arrest. It is important to provide BLS training for teachers who can reach a large part of the society. Therefore, it would be beneficial to train pre-service teachers on this subject during their education. BLS studies for teachers in the literature are generally limited to descriptive or one-time theoretical face-to-face trainings. This research is planned to evaluate the effects of digital stories and face-to-face applied basic life support training on the knowledge and skill levels of teacher candidates.

Method The universe of the research will consist of 711 pre-service teachers studying in the 3rd grade of Trabzon University teaching departments. The sample will consist of a total of 76 teacher candidates selected by power analysis. The sample group determined by the stratified sampling method from the departments of the education faculty will be selected according to the simple random sampling method and distributed to the groups as 38 digital storytelling and 38 face-to-face applied training groups. In this pretest-posttest experimental study, data will be collected by using the student descriptive characteristics form, Basic Life Support Information Form and Basic Life Support Skills Evaluation Form in the pre-test. After the pre-test, BLS training will be carried out with digital storytelling for one group and face-to-face applied to the other group. The initiatives of both groups will last two months according to the program. After the training, post-test applications will be given to both groups. A permanence test will be given to both groups 1 month after the post-test.
