Basic Life Support (BLS) training is critical for equipping healthcare professionals with the skills necessary to manage such emergencies effectively. Tailored BLS training is essential in dentistry, where emergencies like CA, though rare, can have severe consequences. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a structured BLS training program for dental residents at Selçuk University Faculty of Dentistry, incorporating theoretical, practical, and video-based instruction components.Material and Methods: A total of 151 volunteer dental residents participated in a structured BLS training program conducted between May 14-17, 2024. Training included theoretical lectures, hands-on practice on mannequins, and a preparatory video covering BLS interventions for adults, children, and infants. Knowledge acquisition was measured using pre-tests, post-tests, and a retention test one month after training. Participants’ demographic data and prior BLS experience were also evaluated.Results: Participants demonstrated significant improvement in knowledge immediately after training, with retention remaining above pre-test levels one month later. In analyzing the number of participants who answered the questions correctly in the post-training tests, p KW - basic life support KW - dental education KW - knowledge retention N2 - Amaç: Kardiyak arrest (KA), hayatta kalma sonuçlarının büyük ölçüde hızlı tanıma ve müdahaleye bağlı olduğu dünya çapında önde gelen bir ölüm nedenidir. Temel Yaşam Desteği (TYD) eğitimi, sağlık çalışanlarını bu tür acil durumları etkili bir şekilde yönetmek için gerekli becerilerle donatmak için kritik öneme sahiptir. Bireysel TYD eğitimi, KA gibi acil durumların nadir de olsa ciddi sonuçlara yol açabildiği diş hekimliğinde esastır. Bu çalışmada, Selçuk Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi'ndeki diş hekimliği asistanları için teorik, pratik ve video tabanlı eğitim bileşenlerini içeren yapılandırılmış bir TYD eğitim programının etkinliği değerlendirildi.Gereç ve Yöntemler: 14-17 Mayıs 2024 tarihleri arasında yürütülen yapılandırılmış bir TYD eğitim programına toplam 151 gönüllü diş hekimliği asistanı katıldı. Eğitim, teorik dersler, mankenler üzerinde uygulamalı pratik ve yetişkinler, çocuklar ve bebekler için TYD müdahalelerini kapsayan bir hazırlık videosu içeriyordu. Bilgi edinimi, ön testler, son testler ve eğitimden bir ay sonra yapılan bir tutma testi kullanılarak ölçüldü. Katılımcıların demografik verileri ve önceki BLS deneyimleri de değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Katılımcılar, eğitimden hemen sonra bilgilerinde önemli bir gelişme gösterdiler ve tutma bir ay sonra test öncesi seviyelerin üzerinde kaldı. Eğitim sonrası testlerde soruları doğru cevaplayan katılımcı sayısı analizinde, 12 sorudan 10'u için p CR - 1.
