Results: The current study shows that 13.7% of the participants demonstrated an adequate level of knowledge before the intervention, which increased to 83.7% at the first follow-up assessment and 73.7% at the second assessment after the intervention, with highly significant differences between them (P < 0.001). Additionally, the total mean score self-efficacy score improved from 37.13 ± 5.83 to 55.14 ± 2.08 at the first follow-up and 54.13 ± 4.07 at the second follow-up assessment, revealing highly significant differences between the two phases (P < 0.001).
