The effects of music on the cardiac resuscitation education of nursing students

After cardiac arrest, ischemic injuries occur in the brain and heart within the first few minutes. Survival rates after the arrest depend on the immediate and effective application of basic and advanced life support (Paal et al., 2012). Immediate and correctly performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) prevents neurological deficits and increases the quality of life of individuals after sudden cardiac arrest (Abella et al., 2005a; Lee and Low, 2010; Paal et al., 2012; Rawlins et al., 2009). Because of this, CPR is an important life-saving technique that increases survival rates by two to three times (Hafner et al., 2012, 2015; Matlock et al., 2008), especially when chest compression is performed correctly (Abella et al., 2005a; Rawlins et al., 2009).
