AbstractBackground: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a crucial and life-saving intervention that restores blood circulation and spontaneous breathing among patients requiring CPR. Given undergraduate nursing students' low involvement in CPR, they do not acquire enough practical expertise. Thus, self-directed training methods such as self-regulation and simulations can be effective for nursing students. Objectives: The primary objective is to evaluate whether integrating self-regulation with CPR simulation improves students’ psychomotor performance of CPR skills. The secondary objectives are to examine effects on knowledge acquisition and retention, and self-efficacy. Methods and Results: The present study is based on a study protocol developed in 2024, which will focus on nursing students in their final academic term at Lorestan University of Medical Sciences, specifically those enrolled in the Khorramabad Nursing and Midwifery School and the Aligudarz Nursing School during the 2025 - 2026 academic year. One of the schools will be randomly selected as the control group, while the other will serve as the intervention group. Subsequently, all students from each school will be included in the study using a census sampling method. The intervention will consist of training sessions and self-regulation exercises, as well as receiving feedback through a trainer and a designed CPR simulation during six sessions. In the control group, only routine training will be conducted. Before and after the intervention, students in both groups will be given a simulated CPR test and a written multiple-choice question (MCQ) evaluation. The performance results of the two groups will then be compared. Data analysis will be conducted using SPSS version 25, employing descriptive and inferential statistics. Conclusions: This protocol is developed to enhance CPR skills by integrating modern educational methods, with self-regulated learning (SRL) being the most crucial. The SRL, especially in nursing education, is significant and enables nursing students to monitor their learning process independently, set specific goals, and achieve them using appropriate strategies. The ability to self-regulate allows students to effectively manage academic and clinical challenges and, consequently, improve the quality of nursing care. This study was not prospectively registered in a clinical trial registry because it is an educational protocol without patient-related outcomes; however, it has received ethical approval.en
