Chicken Model in Teaching Episiotomy Repair

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of chicken use in episiotomy repair training of midwifery students on students' satisfaction, self-confidence and anxiety levels.

Hypotheses H01 There is no difference between the satisfaction score of the chicken group and the satisfaction score of the control group in episiotomy repair training.

H02 In episiotomy repair training, there is no difference between the self-confidence score of the chicken group and the self-confidence score of the control group.

H03 There is no difference between the anxiety score of the chicken group and the anxiety score of the control group in episiotomy repair training.

Treatment and study plan

Education model

Other

Chicken legs will be used for each student in the study. Intermittent and continuous suture techniques will be studied on the incision made on the chicken leg.

Routine Education model

In the study, 15 cm x 20 cm sponge will be used for each student. Intermittent and continuous suture techniques will be practiced on the sponge.

Other names: Sponge Group

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)

    Time frame: immediately before the training, immediately after the training and immediately after the clinical practice.

    The inventory was developed by Spielberger et al. in 1970. An adaptation, validity, and reliability study of the State-Trait Anxiety Scale in Turkish was conducted by Oner and Le Compte in 1983. The scale consists of two subdimensions: the state anxiety has 20 items and is used to determine what is felt at a specific moment under certain conditions, and the trait anxiety has 20 items and is used to determine what has been felt in the last 7 days. High scores from each subscale indicate a high level of anxiety.

    STAI-S consist of 20 items with four points Likert scales, each (not at all, somewhat, moderately so, very much so). Scores thus range between 20, indicating a low level of anxiety and 80, indicating a high level.

  2. Change in satisfaction

    Time frame: immediately before the training, immediately after the training and immediately after the clinical practice.

    Visual Analog Scale is a 10-cm-long measurement tool. The left end of the scale reads "I am not satisfied at all" and the right end reads "very satisfied". A high score on the scale indicated a high level of satisfaction and a score of 0 pointed to no satisfaction.

  3. Self-Sufficiency

    Time frame: immediately before the training, immediately after the training and immediately after the clinical practice.

    Visual Analog Scale (VAS)- assessed by adequate vision. For each item, students rated their sense of self-sufficiency on a scale of 0 (very inadequate) to 10 (very adequate).

  4. The Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale

    Time frame: immediately after training

    This instrument is a 13-item scale used to measure student satisfaction with the simulation activity (5 items) and self-confidence in learning (8 items). Responses are rated on a 5-point Likert scale with values ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Higher scores indicate higher satisfaction and greater levels of self confidence.
