Setting: The study was conducted between December 2023 and January 2024 at the faculty of health sciences of a university in Turkey's central region. Methods: The Turkish version of the "Self-Confidence and Anxiety in Clinical Decision Making" scale was used at the beginning (pre-test) and end (post-test) of the four-week sessions of the interventions. Moreover, the "Academic Achievement Test" was used at the end of the interventions. Differences in mean scores between the groups were analyzed with mixed-design ANOVA.

Primer Outcome
Time Frame: PRE TEST-POST TEST (1 month apart)
Nursing Anxiety and Self-Confidence with Clinical Decision Making Scale: It was developed by White et al. in 2011. The Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale was performed by Bektaş et al. (2017). The scale consists of two sections (self-confidence and anxiety) and 27 items on a six-point Likert scale. The scale has three sub-dimensions for both self-confidence and anxiety sections; "using sources to acquire information and listening to them carefully (13 questions)", "using the information in hand to determine the problem (7 questions)", and "knowing and taking action (7 questions)". Separate scores are obtained for self-confidence and anxiety. As the score obtained from the self-confidence section increases, students' self-confidence levels increase. As the score obtained from the anxiety section decreases, students' anxiety levels decrease. The lowest score that can be obtained from the self-confidence and anxiety sections is 27, and the highest score is 162.
