Training with video

The hand washing skills of the students in the three groups were evaluated by a researcher by observing the hand washing of the students in the sink with the Hand Washing Skills Checklist. After the students were given theoretical information about hand hygiene, including the importance of hand washing, the situations in which hands should be washed, and the steps of hand washing skills, the laboratory practice was started immediately afterwards. In the laboratory, hand washing training was given to the video group with the hand washing video developed by the researchers within the scope of the course. Afterwards, the same researcher who made the first observation re-evaluated the handwashing skills of all students in the sink by filling out the Handwashing Skill Checklist.
