Summary

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of mosaic art in midwifery education on episiotomy repair performance, self-efficacy, and anxiety: a randomized controlled trial. Method/Data Collection Techniques: The study was planned in a two-parallel-group randomized controlled experimental design including pre-test and post-test measurements. The study will be conducted with third-year students studying in the Midwifery Department of the Faculty of Health Sciences at Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University during the fall semester of the 2026-2027 academic year. The sample size was calculated using the G\*Power 3.1.9.7 program, and based on Cohen's effect size d=0.55, α=0.05, and 80% power, a total of 106 students were planned to be included in the study, with 53 students in each group. Participants will be assigned to intervention and control groups using a simple randomization method. The intervention group will receive structured mosaic art training for six weeks, with two sessions per week, while the control group will not receive any art-based application during this period. Following the intervention, both groups will receive theoretical and practical training in standard episiotomy repair. Data will be collected using the Participant Information Form, State Anxiety Scale (STAI-TX I), Episiotomy Self-Efficacy Scale, Attitudes Towards Learning Scale, and Episiotomy Repair Skill Assessment Form. Appropriate descriptive statistics and parametric or non-parametric comparison tests will be used in the analysis of the data, with a statistical significance level of p\<0.05. Expected Results: This research is expected to provide scientific evidence regarding the use of art-based teaching methods in midwifery education by revealing the effect of mosaic art application on midwifery students' episiotomy repair skills, self-efficacy, attitudes towards learning, and state anxiety levels. It is anticipated that the research results will contribute to the development of effective teaching strategies in psychomotor skills training and the strengthening of midwifery education programs.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mosaic Art Practice

Participants assigned to the intervention group will participate in a structured mosaic art program for six weeks before episiotomy repair training. The program will consist of two 45-minute sessions per week (12 sessions in total). Participants will engage in mosaic art activities requiring coordinated hand and finger movements and fine motor control. After completion of the mosaic art program, participants will receive the same theoretical and practical episiotomy repair training provided to the control group.

BEHAVIORAL

Standard Episiotomy Repair Training

Participants will receive standardized theoretical and practical episiotomy repair training. The training will include 2 hours of theoretical instruction and 6 hours of practical training using a silicone episiotomy repair model. The same standardized episiotomy repair training will be provided to participants in both study groups.
