Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Episiotomy Repair Training with Calf Tongue Simulator for Midwifery Students

Year 2023, Volume: 12 Issue: 3, 461 - 472, 28.09.2023

Abstract

Aim: To determine whether the use of calf tongue simulator in episiotomy repair increases the knowledge and skill level of the students. Materials and Methods: The study in the form of a single-group “pretest-posttest” pretrial was carried out in April 2019 with students of midwifery (n=66). During episiotomy repair simulation training, suture techniques (simple suturing, locking loop suturing and vertical matrix) were shown by using calf tongue simulators. The data were collected by using a personal information form, while the Episiotomy Knowledge Levels Assessment Form and Episiotomy Repair Skill Levels Assessment Form were used for the pretest and posttest. Results: As a result of the simulation training, increases were observed in episiotomy knowledge and repair skill levels in comparison to the pre-training period (p<0.05). Conclusion: As a result of the study, it was determined that episiotomy repair training given to students with a calf tongue simulator achieved increases in their knowledge and skill levels in comparison to pre-test result. Simulator examples that can be used for episiomy repair can be added to the midwifery education curriculum.

Abstract

Amaç: Epizyotomi tamirinde dana dili simülatörü kullanımının öğrencilerin bilgi ve beceri düzeyini arttırıp arttırmadığını belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tek grup “öntest-sontest” deneme öncesi modeli tipindeki araştırma Nisan 2019 tarihinde ebelik öğrencileri ile gerçekleştirilmiştir (n=66). Epizyotomi tamiri simülasyon eğitiminde dana dili simülatörü kullanılarak sütür teknikleri gösterilmiştir. Verilerin toplanmasında kişisel bilgi formu, ön test ve son test için Epizyotomi Bilgi Düzeyini Değerlendirme Formu ve Epizyotomi Tamiri Beceri Düzeyini Değerlendirme Formu kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Simülasyon eğitimi sonrasında eğitim öncesine göre epizyotomi bilgi düzeyi ve epizyotomi tamiri beceri düzeylerinde artış olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Sonuç: Çalışma sonucunda ön-test sonucuna göre öğrencilere danadili simülatörü ile verilen epizyotomi tamiri eğitiminin öğrencilerin bilgi ve beceri düzeyinde artış sağladığı belirlenmiştir. Ebelik eğitim müfredatına epizyotomi onarımı için kullanılabilecek simülatör örnekleri eklenebilir.
