Abstract：
BACKGROUND: One of the most common causes of death worldwide is cardiopulmonary arrest. Firefighters are among the first responders at the scenes of accidents and can, therefore, play a key part in performing basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for victims who need it. The present study was conducted to compare the effects of simulation training against workshops on the CPR knowledge and skills of firefighters in the south of Iran.
METHODS: This experimental (Interventional) study was conducted on 60 firefighters of south of Fars province, Iran. The study was undertaken from March to July 2023. Through random allocation, the participants were divided into two groups: simulation-based training (30 members) and traditional workshop training (30 members). The participants\' CPR knowledge and practical skills were measured before, immediately after, and three months after intervention.
RESULTS: The findings of the study revealed a statistically significant difference between the pretest and posttest CPR knowledge and skill mean scores of the simulation groups as compared to the workshop group (p < 0.001). As measured three months after the intervention, the firefighters\' knowledge and skill mean scores were still significantly different from their pretest mean scores (p < 0.001); however, they had declined, which can be attributed to the fact that the study population did not frequently exercise CPR.
CONCLUSIONS: Based on the findings of the study, even though both methods of education were effective on enhancing the firefighters\' CPR knowledge and skill, simulation training had a far greater impact than training in workshops. In view of the decline in the participants\' knowledge and skill scores over time, it is recommended that short simulation training courses on CPR should be repeated on a regular basis.

摘要：
背景：全世界最常见的死亡原因之一是心肺骤停。消防员是事故现场的第一反应者之一，因此,在为需要的患者进行基础心肺复苏（CPR）方面起着关键作用。进行本研究是为了比较模拟培训与讲习班对伊朗南部消防员CPR知识和技能的影响。
方法：这项实验（介入）研究是对法尔斯省南部的60名消防员进行的，伊朗。该研究于2023年3月至7月进行。通过随机分配,参与者分为两组:模拟培训(30名成员)和传统研讨会培训(30名成员).参与者的心肺复苏知识和实践技能之前进行了测量，紧接着,干预后三个月。
结果：研究结果表明，与车间组相比，模拟组的测试前和测试后CPR知识和技能平均得分之间存在统计学上的显着差异（p<0.001）。干预后三个月，消防员的知识和技能平均得分与他们的预测平均得分仍有显著差异(p<0.001)；然而，他们拒绝了，这可以归因于研究人群不经常进行CPR。
结论：根据研究结果，尽管这两种教育方法都有效地提高了消防员的心肺复苏知识和技能，模拟训练的影响远大于车间训练。鉴于参与者的知识和技能分数随着时间的推移而下降，建议定期重复进行心肺复苏短期模拟培训课程.
