Methods: The Turkish version of the "Self-Confidence and Anxiety in Clinical Decision Making" scale was used at the beginning (pre-test) and end (post-test) of the four-week sessions of the interventions. Moreover, the "Academic Achievement Test" was used at the end of the interventions. Differences in mean scores between the groups were analyzed with mixed-design ANOVA.
