Furthermore, results showed that after a 3‑month follow‑up period,self‑efficacy score increased in comparison to preintervention self‑efficacy score. Results showed thatthe total score means of self‑efficacy before the workshop was 59.01 ± 14.91 while postworkshop,self‑efficacy score means was 79.83 ± 11.90.CONCLUSION: The present research results presented that educational workshop may enhanceself‑efficacy among nurses.
