Brief Summary

This study was planned to determine the effect of scenario-based high-fidelity electronic fetal monitoring simulation method on midwifery students' self-efficacy-efficacy and situational anxiety levels. The study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study. This RCT will be administered following the CONSORT 2010 guidelines. Midwifery students will be given information about the introduction of the simulator and the model, the flow chart of the training plan, the content of the training plan, the environment, the locations of the materials. 40 students selected for the intervention group will be given high-fidelity simulator and information on case-based learning will be given to 40 students selected for the training and control group. "State Anxiety Inventory" and "Self-Efficacy-Efficacy Scale" will be applied as a pre-test after the briefing. High-fidelity simulator application training will be applied to the intervention group students, accompanied by a scenario, and case-based learning method will be applied to the control group students. After the training, "State Anxiety Inventory", "Self-Efficacy-Efficacy Scale" and "Satisfaction with Educational Methods Questionnaire" will be administered to all students. Three months after the training, the "State Anxiety Inventory" and "Self-Efficacy-Efficacy Scale" will be administered to the students again.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Introductory Information Form

  In this form, which was created by the researchers based on the literature, participants' age, high school they graduated from, willingly choosing the profession, feeling of belonging to the profession, etc. questions are included.

  One hour before the education

• State-Trait Anxiety Inventory

  The scale consists of two subscales, continuous and state, each consisting of 20 questions. It can be applied to individuals over the age of 14. The state anxiety scale determines how the individual feels at a certain moment and under certain conditions, while the trait anxiety scale determines how the individual feels independently of the situation and conditions. The scores obtained from the scale theoretically vary between 20 and 80. A high score indicates a high level of anxiety and a low score indicates a low level of anxiety.

  One hour before the education

• Self-Efficacy Scale

  The scale, which does not belong to any subjective domain, measures the perception of general self-efficacy and efficacy. The Self-Efficacy Scale is structured as a 5-point Likert-type scale consisting of 23 items, and a minimum of 23 and a maximum of 115 points can be obtained from the scale. For each item on the scale, one of the options 1-Does not describe me at all, 2-Describes me a little, 3-I am undecided, 4-Describes me well, 5-Describes me very well, is based on the score given for each item. Items 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20, and 22 on the scale are scored in the opposite direction. An increase in the total score that can be obtained from the scale indicates that the general self-efficacy perception is high.

Study Arms (2)

İntervention group (High validity simulation application group) (n:40)

EXPERIMENTAL

Practices will be carried out with the students in the intervention group with the "NOELLA Birth Simulator", which is a high-reality simulator located in the Simulation laboratory of the Department of Midwifery of the Faculty of Health Sciences of Hamidiye. A simulator will be practiced with a separate scenario including early, late, variable deceleration, reactive, sinusoidal and non-reactive trace interpretation and intervention.

Other: Simulation-based electronic fetal monitoring training

Control group (Case-based teaching technique group) (n:40)

NO INTERVENTION

To the control group students; Cases on early, late, variable deceleration, reactive, sinusoidal and non-reactive tracing will be prepared by dividing into groups of 5 people. Semi-structured cases will be evaluated and clinical intervention will be discussed with group work. Practice will be done in the basic skills laboratory of the midwifery department.
