Abstract :Background This research aimed to assess the effect of theoretical and practical Basic Life Support training on the knowledge level of research and rescue staff who encounters lots of wounded people during their work. Methods Random pre-test - post-test control group pattern was used in the research. Thirty of the participants were untrained and they were selected for the experiment group whereas the other 30 with previous training were placed in the control group. Once all the participants were pre-evaluated, the experiment group received a 315-minute training. Then, both groups were taken through a post-test evaluation. Results It was found that the differences between the experimental group\\\'s BLS Knowledge Level and the Assessment Scale of the post-test and the pre-test were significantly higher than the differences between the control group\\\'s post-test and the pre-test results (p<0,001). It is determined that the experiment group had significantly higher differences between pre-test and post-test results in all parameters except for Adult, Compression Success Rate, Number of Presses Per Minute and Adult and Pediatric CPR Cycle Rate(p<0,05). It is determined that the experiment group, compared to the control group, had significantly higher differences between pre-test and post-test results in all parameters except for Adult, Compression Success Rate, Number of Presses Per Minute and Adult and Pediatric CPR Cycle Rate(p<0,05). The differences between the post-test and pre-test parameters of the Compression Success Rate (p=0,010), Decompression Success Rate Percentage (p<0,001) and Number of Presses Per Minute (p=0,005) of the experimental group in pediatrics are significantly higher than in adults. Conclusions It has been found that the training given to search and rescue staff is effective in increasing the knowledge levels of the participants. It is seen that the participants experienced a significant rise in their knowledge level, especially in terms of pediatric training.
