    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Education
    • Nursing Education

    Background:

    • Accurate heart sound recognition is crucial for diagnosing cardiac conditions.
    • Traditional teaching methods for heart sounds may have limitations.
    • A need exists for effective, accessible training tools for healthcare professionals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel learning module for heart sound recognition.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of this module in two distinct nursing groups.
    • To assess the knowledge retention of the learning module.

    Main Methods:
