It was detected that students were close to the actual figures in their estimations about the quantity of blood on sanitary napkins with 30 ml and 100 ml, and there was not a statistically significant difference between their estimations and actual figures (p>0.05). It was seen that they were close to the actual figure in their estimation about the quantity of blood in emesis basin with 500 ml, and there was not a statistically significant difference between their estimations and actual figures (p>0.05). It was determined that participants were not close to actual figures in their estimations about the quantity of blood on a small gauze patch with 10x10 dimensions and with 60 ml blood (p:0.014), on bed sheet with 250 ml blood (p:0.00), on a large gauze patch with 45x45 dimensions and with 350 ml blood (p:0.014), on the patient and the bed with 1000 ml blood (p:0.025), on the floor with 1500 ml blood spilt (p:0.00), and finally on the patient, the bed and the floor with 2000 ml blood (p:0.00). It was seen that there was a statistically significant difference between their estimations and actual figures.
