Summary

This randomized controlled study aims to compare the effectiveness of video-based and model-based training methods in improving Leopold maneuver skills among second-year midwifery students. The study will be conducted at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Kahramanmaraş Sütçü Imam University. Eligible students will be randomly assigned into three groups: video-supported training, model-supported training, and control. All participants will first receive a 2-hour theoretical training session. Then, the video group will watch an instructional video, the model group will perform hands-on practice using anatomical models, and the control group will receive no additional intervention. Skill acquisition will be evaluated through practical assessments conducted a few days and two months after training. At the end of the study, compensatory training will be provided to all groups to ensure educational equity. Data collection tools include a psychomotor skills assessment form, a student satisfaction scale, and the Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory. Statistical analyses will be performed using SPSS software.

Conditions

  • Midwifery Education
  • Clinical Skills Training

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

To compare the effectiveness of video- and model-based training methods in improving Leopold maneuver skills among midwifery students.

This study involves two educational interventions aimed at improving Leopold maneuver skills among midwifery students. Both intervention groups receive a standardized 2-hour theoretical lecture about the purpose, application, and clinical relevance of the Leopold maneuvers. In the Video-Based Training Group, students watch an instructional video developed by the research team that visually demonstrates each step of the maneuver. In the Model-Based Training Group, students perform the maneuvers on anatomical models under the supervision of an instructor. These interventions are conducted in separate sessions to prevent cross-group contamination.
