Results

Before adjusting for background, total scores of knowledge and practice categories were higher than the baseline in the intervention group(43 participants) compared with the control group(44 participants). After background correction due to potential bias of non-random cluster sampling, significant differences between groups were observed in mean score changes in skin and consultation subscales of the practice category.
