To compare the perceptions of participants before and after a one-day workshop on Simulation-based Education. The other objective was to determine the feedback of participants about the one day workshop on Simulation-based Education. ⋯ The study signifiacnaty changed the faculty members' perceptions of simulation-based education.These encouraging findings may influence their future practice in simulation-based education, allowing them to provide safe, high-quality health care in the workplace and, eventually, enhance patient outcomes.

Given the limited studies on types of vaccination and infection rates among health care workers (HCWs) in Türkiye, we analyzed the demographic, clinical, and vaccination characteristics as well as the attitudes of HCWs who have been infected with COVID-19. ⋯ Among both outpatients and inpatients with COVID-19, women HCWs outnumbered men HCWs. HCWs who received homologous vaccination contracted COVID-19 later than those who received heterologous vaccination.
