Brief Summary

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

706 / 5.000 The aim of the study is to examine the effects of Electronic Fetal Monitoring (EFM) (a test that evaluates fetal health during pregnancy) training given to midwifery students through peer education method on the knowledge, skills and self-efficacy levels of the students. It is being conducted as an experimental study with a randomized controlled pre-test-post-test design. Students were given standard training on EFM. Students in the peer teaching group were given peer education. Students continue to be evaluated while applying EFM to pregnant women in clinical practice. Personal information form, achievement test for EFM, skill form and Electronic Fetal Monitoring Self-Efficacy Scale were used in the evaluation of the students.

Detailed Description

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

The aim of the study was to examine the effects of Electronic Fetal Monitoring (EFM) training given to midwifery students through peer education method on the knowledge, skill and self-efficacy levels of the students. It is being conducted as an experimental study with a randomized controlled pre-test-post-test design.

The Electronic Fetal Monitoring Achievement Test and Electronic Fetal Monitoring Skill Form to be used within the scope of the study were created in line with the literature and presented to the opinions of experts in the field. The necessary arrangements were made in line with the opinions of expert instructors and the final version of the achievement test and skill form was created. The Electronic Fetal Monitoring Self-Efficacy Scale is a valid and reliable scale developed by researchers in Turkey in 2023.

After the measurement tools were completed, standard training on EFM was given to the 2nd year students of the midwifery department within the scope of the Prenatal Period I course. After the standard training, the students were informed about the research. The students included in the study were provided with the Personal information formi achievement test and Electronic Fetal Monitoring Self-Efficacy Scale for EFM as a pre-test. The students included in the study were randomized and assigned to Peer Tutoring and Standard Education groups. Then, peer education was given to the students in the Peer Tutoring group.

After the peer education was completed, all students began to be evaluated while performing EFM on pregnant women in clinical practice. Students are evaluated with a skill form by the researcher while performing EFM on pregnant women. After the application is completed, students complete the EFM achievement test and Electronic Fetal Monitoring Self-Efficacy Scale as a post-test. Evaluation of students continues in clinical practice.

Outcome Assessors

After the data collection process of the study is completed, the data will be transferred to the SPSS program by the researcher. When the data is transferred to SPSS by the researcher, the Peer Tutoring group will be given the code X and the Standard Education group will be given the code Y. The person who will perform the statistical analysis will not know which number is which group. After the analysis is completed, the codes will be given their own names and the results will be evaluated.

Study Groups

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

Standard Education Group

This group received standard training given within the scope of the Prenatal Period I course. A powerpoint presentation consisting of 80 slides was prepared within the scope of this training. The training was given as 2 lessons of 50 minutes each. Powerpoint presentation and "Leopold Maneuver Palpation Model" were used during the training.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Peer Tutoring Group

This group received standard training as part of the Prenatal Period I course. A powerpoint presentation consisting of 80 slides was prepared as part of this training. The training was given as 2 lessons of 50 minutes each. A powerpoint presentation and "Leopold Maneuver Palpation Model" were used during the training. Peer training was given two days after the standard training was completed. During the peer training, the powerpoint presentation and the Leopold Maneuver Palpation Model used in standard training were also used.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Peer Tutoring

Intervention Type OTHER

Peer tutoring is defined as "individuals who are in a similar social group and are not professional teachers helping each other to learn and teach". For peer tutoring, the subject of EFM was grouped under 6 headings. The students in the Peer tutoring group were divided into groups of 6. The researcher explained a heading of the EFM subject to each of these 6 groups. Then, new groups were formed by taking one student from each group. In these new groups, each student explained his/her own subject to his/her peers.
