In all three stages of the evaluation, students gave feedback for fifteen minutes. In the control group, evaluation was performed by the logbook method. In both groups, standard checklists were provided to the students. SPSS software version 19 and Student T-test and repeated measures analysis of variance were used in data analysis. The significance level was set at 5%. Results: The final score of the dressing change in the intervention group was higher than the control group (P <0.001). Students in the intervention group had also higher final IV-line insertion and suctioning scores than the control group (P <0.001).Furthermore, in the intervention group, the score of direct observation of procedural skills for dressing change, IV-line insertion, and suctioning increased significantly from the first to the third stage (P <0.001).
