Abstract Background The Indian National Medical Council has incorporated the Basic Life Support (BLS) course in the foundation course of the undergraduate (MBBS) medical curriculum. However, medical teachers raise concerns about how training would affect the retention of Basic Life Support (BLS) abilities in the longer run. So, the current study assesses the knowledge and retention of BLS skills among first-year MBBS students over one year. Methods We included one hundred first-year MBBS students in our study who were trained for BLS, including theory, demonstrations and hands-on training using mannequins. Theoretical knowledge was assessed using pre-test and post-test questionnaires. At the same time, the skills were evaluated using Directly Observed Procedural Skills (DOPS) scores before, just after the training session, and again after one month, six months, and one year. Course feedback was also taken from the students after completing the sessions. Results There was a statistically significant difference between pre-and post-test knowledge scores, indicating that training improved their knowledge. (p |
