Brief Summary

The study aimed to investigate the impact of simulation-based training on nursing students' perception of positive birth and natural birthing approaches.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Natural Birth Approach Questionnaire

  The researchers developed a measurement tool to assess students' knowledge, opinions, and approaches to natural birth. The tool uses a scoring system where correct statements receive one point and incorrect statements receive zero points. The total score ranges from 0 to 100 points.

• students' self-confidence and satisfaction

  It is a scale published by the National League for Nurses (NLN) to measure students' attitudes and beliefs about simulation.The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 65 and the lowest score is 13.

  through simulation practices completion, an average of 5 weeks

• education methods satisfaction

  It evaluates the degree of contentment of the student with the teaching methodology implemented.In evaluating the satisfaction with training methods, students are scored from 20 to 80.

  through simulation practices completion, an average of 5 weeks

• Natural Birth Approach Skills

  The researchers developed a checklist to assess skills. Each item was evaluated on a 3-point scale indicating inadequacy, partial sufficiency, or sufficiency. The checklist consists of 21 items. The total score ranges from 21 to 63 points.

Study Arms (2)

hybrid simulation

EXPERIMENTAL

These students participated in a natural birth approach scenario with a hybrid simulation (n=28).

Other: hybrid simulation

video-modeling group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The students in this group participated in a video modeling education (n=28).

Other: video-modeling

Interventions

hybrid simulation OTHER

During the hybrid simulation, a student and a standardized patient participated. The patient wore a wearable pregnancy model. Before the start of the "Natural Birth Approach Scenario, a pre-briefing session was conducted. The student's performance during the simulation was recorded on video, and each simulation lasted approximately 30 minutes. After the simulation, a debriefing session was held with the student, and feedback was given. Scales were used to evaluate the implementation of the practices.

hybrid simulation

video-modeling OTHER

The students in the group had the opportunity to learn through an educational video that followed the "Natural Birth Approach Scenario." Afterward, they put their knowledge into practice and were evaluated using the Birth Approach Clinical Skills Guide. A feedback session followed the practice session. Finally, they were assessed using scales to measure their performance.
