Brief Summary

This study was planned to evaluate the effect of simulation teaching method on the knowledge and skills of midwifery students in applying vaginal examination in labor.The study was planned as a randomized controlled trial.Research Tokat It will be held between 10.10.2022 and 10.06.2023 at Gaziosmanpaşa University Faculty of Health Sciences, Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University Health Research and Application Hospital and Tokat Provincial Health Directorate Tokat State Hospital.The population of the research will consist of students (N=102) who are students of Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University Health Sciences Faculty Midwifery Department, who took the Normal Birth and Postpartum Period course for the first time in the 2022-2023 academic year, and who have not had a vaginal examination before. The sample of the randomized controlled study was calculated in the G\*Power 3.1 program . Accordingly, the number of samples to be included in the study for an error margin of 0.05 with a statistical power of 80% was calculated as n= 51 for the experimental group and n= 51 for the control group for each group.The Effect of Simulation Teaching Method on Midwifery Students' Knowledge and Skills of Applying Vaginal Examination in Labor: The Randomized Controlled Study Questionnaire consists of four parts.Randomly determined experimental group students will perform eight vaginal examination scenarios different in terms of cervical effacement, cervical dilatation, presence of amniotic membrane, presenting fetus part, position of the fetus and fetal descent on the fetal monitoring and labor progress model set in the laboratory. The control group will not receive any simulation training.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• List of skills for students to perform vaginal examination practice steps

  This is the section where the skills of the students in performing the vaginal examination application steps (22 items) prepared by the researchers by examining the literature are evaluated. The items will be evaluated by the researchers as they did or did not. The first vaginal examination on the woman in the clinic will be filled in both groups before the application.

Interventions

Simulation Teaching Method BEHAVIORAL

Randomly determined experimental group students will perform eight vaginal examination scenarios different in terms of cervical effacement, cervical dilatation, presence of amniotic membrane, presenting fetus part, position of the fetus and fetal descent on the fetal monitoring and labor progress model set in the laboratory. The control group will not receive any simulation training. Both groups will be given a knowledge test after teaching with simulation. Students in both groups will fill out a form evaluating their skills in performing the steps of vaginal examination before each vaginal examination is performed on women in the clinic.

İntervention group
