The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and t-test as well as SPSS-18 software at 95% level of confidence.

Similarly, one- way ANOVA on respondents based on their educational discipline indicated that there is difference among three groups in various educational disciplines (nursing, midwifery, and operation room) for students in advantages of using clinical skills training center (α<0.05). Tuckey range test showed that there is difference in status of educational discipline (nursing and midwifery) but no difference was seen among status of educational discipline in operation room and midwifery.
