About this study
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of large language model (LLM)-based refresher education and video-based refresher education for maintaining knowledge and performance after simulation-based Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) training.
Healthcare professionals will be randomly assigned to either an LLM-based refresher education group or a video-based refresher education group. After randomization, all participants will receive simulation-based PALS training. Three months after the initial training, participants will receive refresher education according to their assigned group. The LLM-based group will use a generative AI and virtual reality-based educational platform that allows interactive practice of pediatric emergency scenarios, while the video-based group will receive video-based refresher education.
At six months after the initial training, knowledge retention, simulation-based PALS performance, and self-efficacy will be assessed. The primary objective is to compare simulation-based performance between the two groups at six months. Secondary outcomes include knowledge test scores, self-efficacy, and measures related to completion of the refresher education.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Simulation-Based PALS Performance Assessment Score
PALS performance will be assessed using a predefined checklist during a simulation-based PALS performance assessment. Performance scores will be compared between the LLM-based refresher education group and the video-based refresher education group.
Measured: 6 months after the initial simulation-based PALS training
Secondary outcomes (3)
Change in PALS Knowledge Test Score From Baseline to 6 Months
PALS knowledge will be assessed using the same 25-item knowledge test at baseline and 6 months after the initial simulation-based PALS training. The change in knowledge test score from baseline to 6 months will be compared between the two groups.
Measured: Baseline and 6 months after the initial simulation-based PALS training
PALS Knowledge Test Score at 6 Months
PALS knowledge will be assessed using a 25-item knowledge test. Knowledge test scores at 6 months after the initial simulation-based PALS training will be compared between the two groups.
Measured: 6 months after the initial simulation-based PALS training
Pediatric Resuscitation Self-Efficacy Score at 6 Months
Self-efficacy related to pediatric resuscitation will be assessed using the Pediatric Resuscitation Self-Efficacy Scale (PRSES). PRSES scores at 6 months after the initial simulation-based PALS training will be compared between the two groups.
Measured: 6 months after the initial simulation-based PALS training

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of large language model (LLM)-based refresher education and video-based refresher education for maintaining knowledge and performance after simulation-based Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) training.
Healthcare professionals will be randomly assigned to either an LLM-based refresher education group or a video-based refresher education group. After randomization, all participants will receive simulation-based PALS training. Three months after the initial training, participants will receive refresher education according to their assigned group. The LLM-based group will use a generative AI and virtual reality-based educational platform that allows interactive practice of pediatric emergency scenarios, while the video-based group will receive video-based refresher education.
At six months after the initial training, knowledge retention, simulation-based PALS performance, and self-efficacy will be assessed. The primary objective is to compare simulation-based performance between the two groups at six months. Secondary outcomes include knowledge test scores, self-efficacy, and measures related to completion of the refresher education.
