High-Fidelity Simulation-Based Breech Birth Education in Midwifery Students

Sponsor: Karabuk University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The purpose of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate whether high-fidelity simulation-based breech birth management education improves knowledge, clinical skill performance, and satisfaction among midwifery students. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does high-fidelity simulation-based breech birth education improve midwifery students' knowledge levels compared with low-fidelity mannequin-based practice? Does high-fidelity simulation-based breech birth education improve midwifery students' clinical skill performance compared with low-fidelity mannequin-based practice? Researchers will compare midwifery students receiving high-fidelity simulation-based breech birth education with students receiving low-fidelity mannequin-based practice to determine whether the high-fidelity simulation method is more effective in improving breech birth management knowledge and skills. Participants will: Complete a pre-test assessing breech birth knowledge before the educational intervention. Receive theoretical education on breech birth management. Be randomly assigned to either the high-fidelity simulation group or the low-fidelity mannequin-based practice group. Complete a post-test assessing breech birth knowledge after the intervention. Be evaluated for breech birth management skills using a structured skill assessment form. Complete a simulation satisfaction scale after the simulation-based education.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

High-Fidelity Simulation-Based Breech Birth Education

This educational intervention consisted of theoretical education followed by high-fidelity simulation-based breech birth management training. The simulation scenario was designed to support students' knowledge, clinical skill performance, decision-making, and preparedness for breech birth management.

BEHAVIORAL

Low-Fidelity Mannequin-Based Breech Birth Practice

This educational intervention consisted of theoretical education followed by low-fidelity mannequin-based practice. The practice allowed students to perform the basic steps and obstetric maneuvers of breech birth management using a low-fidelity training model.
