One week after intervention, posttest was performed.Data were collected and analyzed using the Academic Specifications Questionnaire and theKnowledge Assessment Questionnaire. Significance level was considered at P < 0.05.RESULTS: The two groups were homogeneous in terms of demographic characteristics. There wasno statistically significant difference between the two groups in the posttest in terms of knowledgescore (P = 0.079).
