The mean score of the participants in the study before the required training was 2.17 ± 10.88 in the awareness section, which reached 2.18 ± 12.58 after the workshop that there was a significant difference (P <0.001), indeed. In particular, in the skill section, the mean score at the beginning of the study was 2.406 ± 11.40 which after training reached 1.607 ± 16.60; in fact, it was statistically significant (P <0.001).
