Hybrid Episiotomy Training and Student Outcomes

Sponsor: Atlas University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of a hybrid episiotomy repair training model on self-efficacy, anxiety, and cognitive load in third-year midwifery students. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does standardized sponge-based training improve students' episiotomy skills self-efficacy and cognitive load? Is there a difference between chicken tissue-based training and virtual reality-based training in terms of self-efficacy, anxiety, and cognitive load outcomes? Researchers will compare chicken tissue-based training and virtual reality-based training to determine whether there are differences in educational outcomes between these two advanced simulation methods. Participants will: * complete baseline assessments of anxiety, self-efficacy, and cognitive load, * receive standardized episiotomy repair training using a sponge model, * be randomly assigned to either chicken tissue-based hands-on training or virtual reality-based video training, * complete post-training assessments following each training phase.
