Official title
The Effect of Simulation-Based Childbirth Management Training on Safe Motherhood Practices and Intrinsic Motivation Among Midwives: A Randomized Controlled Study
Overview
This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effect of simulation-based childbirth management training on safe motherhood practices and intrinsic motivation among midwives. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving simulation-based training or a control group receiving no additional training. Outcomes will be assessed using validated scales before and after the intervention.
Detailed description
Simulation-based training is an effective educational approach that allows healthcare professionals to develop clinical skills in a safe and controlled environment. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of simulation-based childbirth management training on safe motherhood practices and intrinsic motivation among midwives.
The study is designed as a randomized controlled trial with a pre-test and post-test design. A total of 132 midwives will be included and randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group will receive a structured simulation-based training program over five days, including obstetric scenarios such as normal delivery, postpartum hemorrhage, shoulder dystocia, and other obstetric emergencies. Each session will include pre-briefing, simulation practice, and debriefing.
The control group will continue routine practices without any additional intervention. Data will be collected using a Personal Information Form, Safe Motherhood Scale (for healthcare professionals), and Intrinsic Motivation Scale. Outcomes will be measured before and after the intervention.
The study aims to contribute to evidence-based midwifery education by evaluating both clinical practice outcomes and motivational factors.
Interventions
- Behavioral Simulation-Based Childbirth Management Training
Participants will receive simulation-based childbirth management training for five consecutive days (8 hours per day), including structured obstetric scenarios and debriefing sessions.
Primary outcome measures
- Safe Motherhood Practices Level [Time frame: Before training and immediately after training (Day 5)]
- Intrinsic Motivation Level [Time frame: Before training and immediately after training (Day 5)]
