Detailed description

The research was designed in a semi-experimental single group in the pretest-posttest order and will be carried out in four stages: In the 1st Stage: The socio-demographic characteristics of the nurses and their knowledge levels about the Z technique will be evaluated before the training. In the 2nd stage: Training will be given on the Z technique on the planned day, time and place. The education is planned to be given at Tarsus University. The training content will be presented to the participants as a powerpoint presentation (30 min), laboratory practice (15 min) and question-answer (15 min). In the 3rd Stage: After the training, the knowledge levels and skills of the nurses regarding the Z technique will be evaluated.
