During the first two weeks of the study, students in both the experimental and control groups received four hours of theoretical and practical training in urinary catheterization each week. Each student was given the opportunity to perform the procedure at least once, and those who performed it inadequately or incompletely were allowed to repeat it. In the third week, pre-test data was collected from both the experimental and control groups. As part of this process, students were given the 'Student Information Form', the 'Urinary Catheterisation Skill Assessment Checklist' and the 'Visual Analog Scale-Satisfaction', and asked to complete them. From the fourth week onwards, the experimental group underwent training using the microteaching method. The skill of performing urinary catheterization was taught over the course of six weeks using this method. Post-test data were collected from students in the experimental and control groups in Week 10.
