- Brief Summary
A randomized control trial was made to develop a partograph e-learning tool and evaluate its effectiveness in student midwives in Turkey.
- Detailed Description
With the use of a partograph, complications are detected and intervened promptly, and unnecessary applications are avoided. Therefore, it has become an integral part of the practices of midwives who manage normal births under their responsibility to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. One of the intrapartum care services of midwives is to detect prolonged labor, especially with the use of a partograph, and to apply quick and accurate intervention. However, the partograph is not widely used all over the world at the desired level.
Recently, the use of the e-learning system, which is recommended as a method of obtaining and perceiving information easily, has increased considerably. Although this is a new concept in our country, it has started to be adopted rapidly.
In our country, there is no study on the use of e-learning in midwifery practices. However, in many international studies, it is stated that e-learning is acceptable and more practical and effective than classical methods in midwifery education and practices. This research was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study to develop an e-learning tool that could be an alternative to midwifery students' learning of the use of a partograph and to evaluate its effectiveness.
The hypothesis was tested that there is a significant difference between the students who received and did not receive training with the partograph e-learning tool in terms of post-test education achievement scores. In addition, it was found that there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test education achievement scores of the students who received training with the partograph e-learning tool.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Acadeic Achievement Test after intervention (Posttest ) One month after the pretest. The Academic Achievement Test consisted of eight multiple-choice questions and two case scenarios about knowledge, skills, and synthesis on the use of the partograph in labor. For each question regarding the partograph knowledge level, correct answers were scored 2 and incorrect answers 0. The minimum score on the knowledge is a 0; maximum is 16. For partograph filling skills, students systematically reviewed each case and filled out partographs with the given information and were evaluated one by one according to individual partograph components. The minimum score on the both cases are a 0; maximum is 34. For the partograph synthesis, open-ended interpretation questions were added to the end of each case. The minimum score on the partograph synthesis are a 0; maximum is 10. In total, the minimum possible score on the the Academic Achievement Test is a 0; maximum is 60. Higher scores indicate greater levels of Academic Achievement.
