Method: The study used a quasi-experimental post-test design and took place from June 2019 until May 2020.

The data were gathered using a questionnaire prepared by the researchers. Results: The mean score of the lecture group was 68.2 +/-21.1, and in the video group, 78.5 +/-21.6. This means that the video group outperformed the lecture group in terms of skill (p=0.034).
