Afterwards, data were analyzed with SPSS and by descriptive and inferential statistics, with regard to the significance level of   P≤0.05. Consequently, the results showed that education through workshop were only able to temporarily increase the level of knowledge (immediately after workshop) (P<0.0001) eventhough in the long term (after internship) had not been able to increase knowledge (P<0.14). Moreover, education through workshop on performance after the internship was not effective (P=0.12). According to the results of the study and considering the importance of safety concept, it is recommended that the safety concept as a training concept to be subjected in the content of nursing Lessons, or this concept to be taught continually in all clinically practical units or to be evaluated in the form of public evaluation, therefore, by being repeated in evaluating students it can implement an effective role.
