However, the control group had no intervention program. The amount of the workshop effects were compared in two stages (before and two weeks after the test), using the Checklist 21 and a researcher-made questionnaire with 76 items. Data analysis was conducted through SPSS software, Spearman, independent T and square T tests. The criterion for being meaningful was considered as P<0.05.Results: The mean and standard deviation of the performance level in the pre- intervention stage were 1.6±1.42 and 1.33±1.49, for the test and control groups, respectively. The values changed into 73.5±1.37 and 1.64±1.7 two weeks after the intervention. The independent statistical T test revealed no significant difference before test among the two groups, concerning the performance score (P> 0.05); while in post-test stage there appeared such a difference (P<0.05). However, the statistical square T test revealed a significant difference before and after test among the two groups (P<0.05).Discussion and Conclusion: the results showed that the educational workshop was efficient. Therefore, we suggest repetition of the required educational courses regularly, in practical and scientific forms.
