706 / 5.000 The aim of the study is to examine the effects of Electronic Fetal Monitoring (EFM) (a test that evaluates fetal health during pregnancy) training given to midwifery students through peer education method on the knowledge, skills and self-efficacy levels of the students. It is being conducted as an experimental study with a randomized controlled pre-test-post-test design. Students were given standard training on EFM. Students in the peer teaching group were given peer education. Students continue to be evaluated while applying EFM to pregnant women in clinical practice. Personal information form, achievement test for EFM, skill form and Electronic Fetal Monitoring Self-Efficacy Scale were used in the evaluation of the students.
volunteers to participate in the study,
those taking the Prenatal Period-I course for the first time,
those who have not received any EFM training before,
those who are second year Midwifery students
Students who are absent on the day the EFM topic is taught.
Parallel
Peer Tutoring
Other interventionPeer tutoring is defined as "individuals who are in a similar social group and are not professional teachers helping each other to learn and teach". For peer tutoring, the subject of EFM was grouped under 6 headings. The students in the Peer tutoring group were divided into groups of 6. The researcher explained a heading of the EFM subject to each of these 6 groups. Then, new groups were formed by taking one student from each group. In these new groups, each student explained his/her own subject to his/her peers.
Electronic Fetal Monitoring Self-Efficacy Scale
The scale consists of 32 items on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from "Very sure" to "Not sure". A general score is obtained by summing up all items. A high score indicates that EFM Follow-up self-efficacy is high. The lowest score to be obtained from the scale varies between 32 and the highest score varies between 128. There is no cut-off score for the scale.
Success Test for Electronic Fetal Monitoring Success Test for Electronic Fetal Monitoring
Electronic Fetal Monitoring Achievement Test was prepared in accordance with the literature with multiple choice (4 options) questions in order to measure the knowledge, skills and abilities acquired by the students. The opinions of 11 faculty members who are experts in the field of midwifery were taken for the achievement test that was created. The content validity of the Electronic Fetal Monitoring Achievement Test was calculated in accordance with the opinions received from the experts. There are 22 questions in the final version of the achievement test. One point is taken for each question answered correctly and 0 points are taken for each question answered incorrectly. The highest score from the achievement test is 22 and the lowest is 0. The higher the total score from the achievement test, the higher the success towards EFM.
Skill Form for Electronic Fetal Monitoring
The form was used to evaluate the application that students will perform during clinical practice. The form includes sections that include welcoming the pregnant woman, connecting her to EFM, following her up, interpreting the EFM trace, determining risks and interventions. The researcher who observed the form evaluated the students as "did not do it (0): The step was applied incorrectly" and "did (1): The step was done correctly". Opinions were received from 11 midwifery experts for the form. In line with the opinions of the experts, the scope validity of the Skill Form for Electronic Fetal Monitoring was calculated. Necessary arrangements were made in terms of language and expression in line with the expert opinions. The final form consists of 39 items. The highest score that can be obtained from the form is 39 and the lowest score is 0. High scores indicate that the skill for EFM is high.
Personal Information Form
Personal Information Form Personal Information Form was created by the researcher in line with the literature to determine the socio-demographic characteristics of the students (age, education level, employment status, health insurance, parents' education status, parents' profession, etc.). There are 7 questions.
