Completed
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.
