Brief Summary

The research, planned in an experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group, was conducted with second-year students studying at the Department of Midwifery (n=86). The students participating in the study were divided into intervention (n: 43) and control (n: 43) groups by simple random sampling. Training in identifying the symptoms and risks of child abuse and neglect was given to the intervention group students with the explain method, while the control group was given classical training. In collecting data; 'Introductory Information Form', 'Identification Scale for Symptoms and Risks of Child Abuse and Neglect', and 'Child Abuse and Neglect Awareness Scale' were used. Data were collected before the application and at the 4th week after the application.

Detailed Description

The implementation phase of the research was carried out in the classroom of the Midwifery Department at the Faculty of Health Sciences of a public university. During the training sessions, all student activities were observed by the researchers.

Second-year midwifery students (n=86) were randomly assigned by the researchers to the intervention group (n=43) and the control group (n=43) using the website https://www.randomizer.org/. An introductory information form was administered to all participants, and a briefing session was held before the implementation. In this session, detailed information about the procedures to be carried out in the study was provided, and a question-and-answer session was conducted. Students were informed about the training plan's flowchart, content, process, and environment. It was explained that the intervention group (n=43) would be trained on identifying signs and risks of child abuse and neglect using the "teach-back method," while the control group (n=43) would receive traditional education on the same topic.

Before the training, as a pretest, the "Scale for Identifying Signs and Risks of Child Abuse and Neglect" and the "Child Abuse and Neglect Awareness Scale" were administered to all participants. All groups were given a 2-hour theoretical session on child abuse and neglect via a PowerPoint presentation. During the session, students' questions were addressed. At the end of the training, all students were asked to leave the classroom. Subsequently, intervention group students were brought back individually and asked to explain the training content in their own words. After their explanations, they were asked additional questions such as "Is there anything you would like to add?" and "Can you provide examples related to the topic?" to encourage further elaboration.

Four weeks after the training, all participants were administered the same scales as a posttest: the "Scale for Identifying Signs and Risks of Child Abuse and Neglect" and the "Child Abuse and Neglect Awareness Scale."
