The findings of this study showed that the mean of functional learning score and diagnostic ability in the experimental group was more than control and the effect of software was confirmed (P=0.148). However, there was no significant difference between student's knowledge scores between the control and experimental groups (P = 0.001).
Using the cardiopulmonary resuscitation simulator software can create an effective and effective learning environment by creating a safe and stressful environment as a complementary method to traditional education. Students can also simulate their ability to recognize and learn their practical skills by rehearsing and practicing emergency situations simulated by this method. But the use of simulations did not affect student's knowledge. But the use of simulations did not affect student's knowledge. Perhaps the reason for this was simply the practice of the software and the increase of knowledge in real and practical situations, with the explanations and tips of the professors.
