Thereafter, course coordinators in BScN programs from the respective universities were informed of the study and asked about the appropriate time when the students were free to undertake data collection exercises. During free time students were approached and informed of the study and asked for their written informed consent to participate. Voluntary participation was key to this project; participants were free to withdraw from the study at any time while retaining their rights to any services needed.
