چکیده
RESULTS: One hundred and forty students participated in the study. A significant number (82{58.6%}) self-reported level of proficiency for venepuncture was above average or excellent; for IV line placement it was a little less than half (65{46.4%}) and for urethral catheterisation 44 (31.7%); however it was quite low for the other procedures. Many students self-reported high level of participation for venepuncture (83{59.2%}); sixty one (43.6%) for IV line placement and 30 (21.7%) for urethral catheterization. The correlations between self-assessed levels of proficiency and participation were significant for all procedures. There was no exposure to the use of mannequins.
