The quality of CC on a manikin was assessed using a CPR METER (Q-CPR) before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and two months later. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22 software, employing one-way ANOVA, one-way repeated measures ANOVA, paired samples t-test, and chi-square tests at a significance level of 0.05.<br> <strong>Results:</strong>The baseline characteristics (resuscitation experience, work experience, participation in CPR workshops, age, and education level) showed no significant differences among the three groups. Before the intervention, the CC quality scores were similar across the groups (P < 0.05). Immediately after the intervention, the average CC quality scores in the direct, visual, and combined feedback groups increased significantly to 74.45 &plusmn; 8.17, 85.14 &plusmn; 5.15, and 95.67 &plusmn; 6.32, respectively (P < 0.05). In the two-month follow-up, compared to the immediate post-intervention scores, the average CC quality scores decreased to 66.29 &plusmn; 8.40, 78.13 &plusmn; 6.88, and 91.26 &plusmn; 7.29 in the direct, visual, and combined feedback groups, respectively. However, the rate of reduction in the combined feedback group was significantly lower than in the other groups (P < 0.0001).<br> <strong>Conclusions:</strong>The quality of CC among nurses can be significantly improved through the use of direct, visual, and combined feedback. The combined feedback approach demonstrated superior effectiveness in both immediate improvement and sustained quality over time, highlighting its value in resuscitation training programs.</span></span></div> Learning,Chest Compression,Feedback,Direct,Visual 0 0 http://mcj.bums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-298&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Mohammad Aftabi 10031947532846004950 10031947532846004950 No Department of Emergency Nursing, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Birjand University of Medical Sciences, Birjand, Iran Gholam Sharifzadeh 10031947532846004951 10031947532846004951 No Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Social Determinants of Health Research Center, School of Health, University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Hossein Rahimi 10031947532846004952 10031947532846004952 No School of Nursing and Midwifery, Birjand University of Medical Sciences, Birjand, Iran Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini hosseini.smr1@yahoo.com 10031947532846004953 10031947532846004953 Yes School of Nursing and Midwifery, Birjand University of Medical Sciences, Birjand, Iran
