Randomization description
In order to create a more representative sample, proportional stratified and simple random sampling was used to select the studied population. This included primary care nurses from various geographical areas of Greece. With regard to our research study, upon request, the conduct of the research was approved by the scientific councils of all the health districts of Greece. They sent us a list of all primary health care units (name, address, telephone, email). We selected the health centers according to the geographical area by lottery and then we contacted with each health center that had been selected. Nurses who worked in the 1st health center were assigned to the intervention group and nurses who worked in the 2nd health center were assigned to the control group. Then we continued in this way until the sample size was at least 50 nurses in both groups.
