Brief Summary

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

The overall aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of hand-held suture exercises on non-locking continuous suture skills used in episiotomy repair in midwifery students. The study, conducted with a randomized, single-blind, controlled design, aimed to generate evidence of psychomotor skill transfer using Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills based performance scores and secondary indicators (time, number of errors, etc.).

Outcome Assessors

In the study, one of the researchers will provide suture training to the Hand Sewing Group. The other three researchers will not know which student belongs to which group. After the first researcher completes the training, the other three researchers will assess the suture skills of both the Hand Sewing Group and the Standard Training Group using the Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skill (OSATS). After the data collection process is complete, the data will be transferred to SPSS by the researcher. Once the data is transferred to SPSS, the Hand Sewing Group will be assigned a code of X, and the Standard Training Group will be assigned a code of Y. The statistical analyst will not know which code belongs to which group. After the analysis is complete, the codes will be assigned 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 the standard training provided as part of the Normal Birth and Postpartum Period course. This training used an 80-slide PowerPoint presentation. The training was delivered in two 50-minute sessions. Surgical suture kits and sponges were used to demonstrate suturing skills.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Hand Sewing Group

This group received the standard training provided as part of the Normal Birth and Postpartum Period course. An 80-slide PowerPoint presentation was used for this training. The training was delivered in two 50-minute sessions. Surgical suture kits and sponges were used to demonstrate suture skills. Following the standard training, this group received hand suture exercises. Students in this group received instruction in hand suture exercises. Hand suture exercises were practiced with the group for a total of four days, one day apart. Hand suture exercises were demonstrated using fabric, sponge, and paper. Straight stitching and basting techniques were demonstrated.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type OTHER

Students in this group will be trained in hand-sewing exercises and then be asked to work on sewing skills for one hour three days a week. Hand-sewing exercises will be demonstrated using fabric, sponge, and paper. Straight stitch and basting techniques will be demonstrated.
