Interventions/Control_1

A single educational intervention on appropriate tourniquet pressure will be conducted.
The intervention consists of an explanation of appropriate tourniquet pressure and application techniques, followed by five practice trials in which participants learn to acquire an appropriate tourniquet pressure by sensory perception, such as the feeling of tightening and tactile feedback, while referring to the scale markings as a reference.
The duration of the intervention is approximately 10 minutes, and it is conducted once on a single day during the study period.
