Among the nurses selected by the hospitals after the interview, a group was selected purposefully. Training sessions were held for the selected nurses in the blood transfusion organization to complete the tool. By using the work tool, the titles of general tasks, subtasks and prioritization of sub-tasks were determined. Then the required knowledge, skills and attitudes in the field of competencies, educational content and behavioral goals were specified.
