Before the intervention, a pre-test was taken from all three groups. The workshop group was taught through the workshop and the based on social networks group was taught through WhatsApp. After the end of the training, a post-test was taken from all three groups and the amount of skill score changes in each group was compared with other groups. Data were analyzed with SPSS-19 software and (P<0.05).
Comparison of the average skill score in all three study groups: control (t=2.71, P=0.011), workshop (t=2.58, P=0.016), and WhatsApp (t= 5.03, P< 0.001) had a significant increase before and after the intervention. The average comparison of skill score changes in the WhatsApp group was significantly higher than the other two groups (P = 0.044). There was a significant difference between the average score of the ECG interpretation skill between the WhatsApp and control groups (P = 0.022) and between the WhatsApp and workshop groups (P = 0.039).
