The Effect of Role Differences on Learning and Self-Assessment in Simulation-Based Life Support Training Among Dental Students

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of theoretical and practical training on intermediate life support (ILS) among fifth-year dental students. Participants will be assigned to two roles during simulation-based sessions: practitioners, who perform the interventions, and evaluators, who assess peers using structured checklists. The study will compare theoretical knowledge and practical skills before and after the training, and assess the impact of peer evaluation on learning outcomes. A minimum of 84 students will be enrolled to ensure adequate statistical power. The results will inform the optimization of dental education in emergency life support training.
