Data were collected from 40 subjects using the basic life support knowledge scale and the chest compression performance.&nbsp; Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, and t-test.<strong>&nbsp; </strong>The findings revealed that after one year, the scores of BLS of new registered nurses reduced with statistical significance (p &lt; .001).&nbsp; After undergoing retraining in two groups, their knowledge increased with statistical significance (p &lt; .001). The subjects in the pamphlet and BLS training video group, their knowledge &nbsp;was significantly lower than that of the subjects in the pamphlet and instructor-led BLS training group (p &lt; .05). The overall chest compression performance of &nbsp;both groups were not different, but the chest compression rate in the pamphlet and BLS training video group was considered too fast compared to the pamphlet and instructor-led BLS training group (p &lt; .001).&nbsp;</p> ER -
