The effect of simulation-based advanced cardiac life support training on nursing students' self-efficacy, attitudes, and anxiety in Palestine: a quasi-experimental study.

Background: Cardiac Arrest (CA) is one of the leading causes of death, either inside or outside hospitals. Recently, the use of creative teaching strategies, such as simulation, has gained popularity in Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) instruction. This study aimed to assess the effect of High-Fidelity Simulation (HFS) training on nursing students' self-efficacy, attitude, and anxiety in the context of Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS).
