EFM: Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Teaching Method With Simulation in Electronic Fetal Monitoring Management
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Electro fetal monitor monitoring in the antepartum and intrapartum periods is one of the most important responsibilities of midwives, who have important roles and responsibilities in maintaining and managing the health of women and newborns before, during and after delivery. Although midwives receive training on EFM monitoring with classical methods before graduation, they may experience problems in EFM monitoring in the clinical field after graduation. For this reason, midwife students should have the knowledge, skills and self-efficacy about a good level of EFM monitoring during their undergraduate education. In recent years, simulation-based education in the field of health has increased rapidly. This method creates an opportunity for health professionals, students, patient assessment, interaction and holistic care without compromising patient safety, and develops participants' critical thinking, clinical decision making and problem solving skills.
In this context, it is very important to evaluate the EFM trace in the antepartum and intrapartum periods, to determine the possible risks, to plan, implement and evaluate the interventions, to provide the emergency crisis management in a short time without affecting the fetal health, and to increase the self-confidence of the midwives.
The research was planned quantitatively in the form of randomized control-intervention of the scenario-based realistic simulation method, to increase the satisfaction and self-confidence levels of midwifery students in learning, to evaluate the simulation design and educational effectiveness, in EFM management. The research will facilitate midwifery students to intervene with the patient in a shorter time, with confidence and with sufficient clinical skills, and patient safety will be increased. It will also allow for the reduction of erroneous clinical practices and malpractices.
This research aims to evaluate the effect of high-fidelity simulation teaching method on knowledge, satisfaction and self-efficacy of midwifery students in EFM follow-up.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- information evaluation form [immediately before simulation]
The information evaluation form is in a multiple-choice format consisting of 50 questions by scanning the literature by the researchers. Each question is worth 2 points
- information evaluation form [5 weeks after the first simulation application]
The information evaluation form is in a multiple-choice format consisting of 50 questions by scanning the literature by the researchers. Each question is worth 2 points
- Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence Scale in Learning [immediately after the first simulation application]
The scale is a 13-item measurement tool designed to measure student satisfaction with simulation and self-confidence during practices. It is a 5-point Likert type and is scored as strongly disagree 1, disagree 2, undecided 3, agree 4, strongly agree 5.
- Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence Scale in Learning [immediately after the second simulation application]
The scale is a 13-item measurement tool designed to measure student satisfaction with simulation and self-confidence during practices. It is a 5-point Likert type and is scored as strongly disagree 1, disagree 2, undecided 3, agree 4, strongly agree 5.
- Self-efficacy scale in monitoring and management of electronic fetal monitoring [immediately after the second simulation application]
It has been determined that the 32-item scale .Electro Fetal Monitor Monitoring Scale can be used as a valid and reliable scale in health professionals. Minimum 0, maximum 32. As the score increases, it is determined that the self-efficacy is higher.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Simulation Design Scale [immediately after the first simulation application]
The simulation method applied and designed to the intervention group is used in the evaluation of the participants. The simulation design scale consists of 20 items in total. Evaluation of the scale is done in two stages. In the first stage, in order to evaluate whether the items used in the simulation method were given in the best way for the participant, they were expressed as strongly disagree, disagree, undecided, agree, strongly agree. In the second stage, there are statements that will determine the level of importance of the scale items for the participant, not important, partially important, undecided, important, very important. In the evaluation phase, the scale score is calculated by dividing the total and the total of the sub-dimensions by the number of items.
