EAS score has been found as 102.4±23.9. It has been determined that, CPRIG score of the students was 84.01±13.3 and the process steps where the students got the highest score were; to evaluate the patient's consciousness (9.4±2.2), to make reassessment in five cycles (9.37±2.2) and to perform 30 Chest Compressions-2 breaths in one cycle (9.21±2.2).
