ROLE-PLAYİNG BASED TRAİNİNG ON OBSTETRİC VİOLENCE AWARENESS

This study was conducted to determine the effects of obstetric violence awareness training given to midwifery students through the role-playing technique on the students' perception levels of obstetric violence and midwifery care behaviors.The study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study with 126 senior students (63 experimental, 63 control) studying midwifery at two public universities during the 2024-2025 academic year. Students in the experimental group received role-playing-based obstetric violence awareness training, while the control group received no intervention. Data were collected using the Student Personal Information Form, PercOV-S Q, and CBI-30. The effectiveness of the obstetric violence awareness training was assessed using pre-test and post-test measurements. Research hypotheses:

H1: Awareness training on preventing obstetric violence, delivered through role-playing techniques, enhances midwifery students' perceptions of obstetric violence.

H2: Awareness training on preventing obstetric violence, delivered through role-playing techniques, enhances midwifery students' perceptions of caring behaviors.

Primary outcomes

  1. Perception of Obstetric Violence in Students

    Time frame: 1 year

    The Perception of Obstetric Violence in Students Questionnaire (PercOV-S Q) was used to measure the perception levels of midwifery students regarding obstetric violence. This scale was developed by Mena-Tudela et al., and its adaptation into Turkish and a validity-reliability study were carried out by Yeniocak et al. A high total score on the scale indicates a high perception level of obstetric violence among students; a low score indicates a low perception level. The scale consists of 33 items and 2 subscales. These subscales were classified under two areas: "Protocolized-visible Obstetric Violence" and "Non-protocolized-invisible Obstetric Violence". The Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of the scale was determined to be 0.92.

The Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of the scale was determined to be 0.92.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Caring Behaviors Inventory

    Time frame: 1 year

    The Caring Behaviors Inventory-30 (CBI-30) was used to measure students' perceptions of midwifery care. This scale was developed by Wolf et al, and its Turkish adaptation and validity-reliability study were conducted by Gül and Dinç. A high score on the scale indicates a high perception of midwifery care, while a low score indicates a low perception of midwifery care. The scale consists of 30 items and 3 subscales: "Respect for Others", "Professional Knowledge and Attitudes", and "Accessibility to the Individuals". The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale was determined to be 0.97.
