About this trial
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.

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

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Psychomotor Skill Score in Leopold Maneuver Application
The primary outcome is the change in psychomotor skill scores measured by the Leopold Maneuver Psychomotor Skill Assessment Form. This validated tool consists of 25 observable items scored on a 5-point Likert scale (0-4), with a total score range of 0-100. Higher scores indicate greater proficiency in performing the Leopold maneuvers.
Time frame
Assessed within 1 week after training and again at 8 weeks after trainingSecondary outcomes
1
Student Satisfaction with Training Method
Student satisfaction will be measured using a custom 6-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (not satisfied) to 5 (very satisfied), indicating the participant's perceived satisfaction with the instructional method used (video or model-based).
Time frame
Assessed within 1 week after training and again at 8 weeks after training2
State Anxiety Level
Anxiety will be assessed using the Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory (SAI), which includes 20 items rated on a 4-point Likert scale. Scores range from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater anxiety.
Time frame
Assessed within 1 week after training and again at 8 weeks after trainingLocations
