简要总结
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.
详细描述
This randomized controlled trial investigates the comparative effectiveness of video-based and model-based educational interventions in enhancing second-year midwifery students' psychomotor skills related to the Leopold maneuvers. The study is designed with three parallel arms: (1) video-supported training, (2) anatomical model-supported training, and (3) control (no additional intervention beyond theoretical instruction).
A total of eligible participants will be recruited from the Faculty of Health Sciences at Kahramanmaraş Sütçü Imam University and randomly assigned to one of the three groups using block randomization to ensure balanced allocation. All participants will initially receive a standardized 2-hour face-to-face theoretical session on Leopold maneuvers, delivered by experienced faculty members using the same content.
Following the theoretical instruction:
The video group will view a professionally prepared instructional video demonstrating all four Leopold maneuvers.
The model group will engage in hands-on practice using standardized pregnant anatomical mannequins under supervision.

研究组 & 干预措施
Model-Based Training Group
Participants in this group will receive the same 2-hour theoretical education, followed by hands-on practice of Leopold maneuvers on anatomical models under researcher supervision.
干预措施: To compare the effectiveness of video- and model-based training methods in improving Leopold maneuver skills among midwifery students. (Behavioral)
Video-Based Training Group
Participants in this group will receive a 2-hour theoretical education on Leopold maneuvers followed by video-based training using an instructional video. Training is conducted in a skills lab environment.
干预措施: To compare the effectiveness of video- and model-based training methods in improving Leopold maneuver skills among midwifery students. (Behavioral)
Control Group
Participants in this group will only receive the 2-hour theoretical training. No additional practical training will be provided.
结局指标
主要结局
Psychomotor Skill Score in Leopold Maneuver Application
时间窗: Assessed within 1 week after training and again at 8 weeks after training
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.
次要结局
- State Anxiety Level(Assessed within 1 week after training and again at 8 weeks after training)
- Student Satisfaction with Training Method(Assessed within 1 week after training and again at 8 weeks after training)
- State Anxiety Level(Assessed within 1 week after training and again at 8 weeks after training)
