As an intervention strategy to improve long-term knowledge retention, the present study demonstrates that repeated evaluation of the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems over eight weeks can significantly increase anatomical knowledge retention of these systems compared to the evaluation of the same organ systems in the first week. Our results show that content reinforcement can be used as an effective interventional strategy to improve long-term anatomical knowledge retention in nursing students.enAll Rights Reservedanatomyknowledge retentionnursing studentsPresentation
