Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The researchers gave midwifery students theoretical training on how to take heel blood on a newborn model. Students were asked to take heel blood on the model in the high-reality simulation environment and simulation room. The student's ability to take heel blood before and after taking heel blood in a high-reality simulation environment or on a newborn model in a simulation environment, satisfaction with learning, anxiety and self-efficacy levels were compared.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The population of the research consisted of 4th grade midwifery students studying in the fall semester of the 2022-2023 academic year (N = 98). 6 students could not continue studying. No sample selection was made and an attempt was made to reach the entire universe. The sample of the research consisted of a total of 92 midwifery students, n=46 in the control group and n=46 in the experimental group. Verbal and written permission was obtained from the students included in the research. Both the experimental and control groups were given theoretical training on heel blood collection on a model using the show-and-tell technique.Then, those in the experimental group were asked to take heel blood on a newborn model in a high-reality simulation environment. The control group was asked to take heel blood on a newborn model in the simulation laboratory. Self-Efficacy-Efficacy scale for both the experimental group and the control group. State and Trait Anxiety Scale was applied as pre-test and post-test. Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale was applied only as a posttest. The heel prick skill evaluation form was filled out by a researcher. Pre-test and post-test results, Student tudent Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning scores , and Heel Blood Skill scores were compared between the experimental and control groups.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental: group that practices in a high-reality simulation environment

The researcher showed the student how to take heel blood on the model. The researcher introduced both high-reality simulation environment. As a pre-test, the student was asked to fill out the Introductory Information Form, Self-Efficacy-Efficacy Scale and State and Trait Anxiety Scales surveys. Midwifery students in the experimental group were asked to take heel blood on a model in a high-reality simulation environment.Heel blood collection skill evaluation form was filled out by the researcher.As a post-test, the student was asked to fill out the Introductory Information Form, Self-Efficacy Scale and State and Trait Anxiety Scales surveys.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Heel blood collection in a newborn simulation model

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The person who will take heel blood in the newborn simulation model can prepare the materials.

Firstly, the blood sample can fill in all the information on the filter paper. Knows where the baby's face should be. It can determine the area where a heel blood sample can be taken.It can gently warm the heel area for a few minutes. The area can be cleaned with alcoholic preparation (cotton/swab, etc.). He can squeeze the heel with his thumb and index finger in front. The other 3 fingers can be rubbed at the back. May stroke the heel three times. The heel can be pierced once with a lancet at a suitable location. He can relax his hand. He can wipe away the first drop of blood. It can create a large thick drop of blood to be collected on filter paper. It can make the drop fill the entire ring on the filter paper with one touch. After the procedure is completed, the heel can be pressed.

control group

They took heel blood on a newborn model in the simulation room as routine training.
