Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Random allocation law is the simplest limited randomization method. This method represents a large block for the entire sample volume, which means that the balance in the number of people allocated to each group is achieved at the end of the study. For this purpose of the study, they first selected a total sample size and then randomly assigned them to group A and the rest to group B. For example, in a study with a sample size of 200 people, one hundred balls for the intervention group A. And the 100 ball for intervention group B is placed in a lottery container and then a 100 ball is removed from the container without replacement and a sequence is created. This method is used for experiments with two or more groups.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
A training program related to patient safety is planned for all participants. The contents were similar in both groups, but the teaching method in one group was the routine lecture method, and in the other group, it was taught using scripts and puzzles. Therefore, in terms of what kind of training method it is and whether it is intervention or controlled in the group, the companies were not informed in advance, but about what training workshop they would participate in and the complete training topic was given to the companies. Also, in the analysis process, the data will be sent in coded form for data analysis, and they had no control over the code of the intervention and control groups.

Description
Intervention group:The teaching-learning methods in the intervention group included interactive lecture method, learning in small groups, and case-based learning and narrative strategy, and students actively participated in these sessions. The number of training sessions was 3. At this stage, students experienced case-based learning. For this purpose, students explained their suggestions and solutions after analyzing the case. The educational goals were determined by the students. The students reviewed the texts and reviewed the guides and guidelines of WHO and the country in the field of the relevant case. Students in each group presented their results and findings. Finally, the summary was done by the facilitator. In the second step, in the Strategy Script method, the students were asked to prepare a script template for each of the determined errors. These narrative templates were compiled by students in small groups and finally completed and summarized by the facilitator. Also, the description templates prepared in the first phase were provided to the students as a learning and summarizing tool so that all the steps that need to be paid special attention to in the decision-making process can be reviewed and reconsidered.
