Abstract
Aim: In our study, it was aimed to determine the knowledge levels of teachers about BLS and the factors affecting them, along with detecting the short and long term effects of education with the evaluations made after the training.
Material and Method: This descriptive study’s sample consisted of 134 teachers working in Tokat province. Teachers were educated on BLS using CPR manikins. A total of 3 measurements were made; before, immediately after and 6 months after the training.
Results: It was determined that the teachers had considerable deficiencies in their level of BLS knowledge before the training and a statistically significant increase was observed in their level of BLS knowledge after the training compared to before the education. At the 6th month after the training, the level of BLS knowledge was found to be significantly higher than the pre-training scores .
Conclusion: There is a need for the training of BLS, which will be given to teachers and other saviors among the people, with the intention of raising awareness about BLS and informing society. In order to keep the information up to date, it is necessary to provide BLS training at certain intervals.
