- Brief Summary
This research was planned to examine the effects of hybrid simulation-based breastfeeding consultancy training on midwifery students' psychosocial care competence and communication skills. The research population will consist of second-year students studying at Health Sciences University (SBU), Hamidiye Faculty of Health Sciences (HSBF), Department of Midwifery in the spring semester of the 2023-2024 academic year (N: 80). Students participating in the study will be divided into intervention (n: 40) and control (n: 40) groups according to the computer-assisted simple random sampling technique. Control group students will practice on a simple breast model within the scope of classical education. "Descriptive Information Form", "Psychosocial Care Competency Self-Assessment Scale" and "Communication Skills Scale-Adult Form" will be applied to the students participating in the research.

Group Intervention Description İntervention group (n:40) Scenario-based high-reality hybrid simulation method Intervention group students will be practiced with the "Lactation Simulator", a high-reality simulator, in the simulation laboratory, accompanied by a scenario. Lactation Simulation Model (LSM) is a high fidelity simulator and is an applied and wearable breastfeeding model that educators can use for interactive training. LSM can be worn like a t-shirt and is placed over the shoulders and placed on the chest, then secured with a seat belt from the back. Thus, the seat belt can be adjusted for every size and weight. LSM is a simulator with the ability to respond to hand manipulation. Thanks to this feature, simulated milk release occurs when pressure is applied to the breast tissue, which is approximately 3 cm behind both nipples. It is also a suitable model for expressing milk by hand or with a pump. LSM has four different skin tones. The fact that LSM can be applied on clothing contributes significantly to the protection of privacy.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Psychosocial Care Competence Self-Assessment Scale 10 minutes The scale was developed by Karataş and Kelleci in 2020. The four-dimensional scale, which consists of 18 valid and reliable items and is called "symptom identification", "use of information", "intervention" and "diagnosis", is a 5-point Likert type. Item, internal consistency and test-retest analyzes were used for the reliability of the scale and it was determined that the internal consistency coefficient was 0.93 and its sub-dimensions were between 0.80 - 0.93.
Introductory Information Form 10 minutes In this form, created by the researchers based on the literature, the participants' age, high school they graduated from, previous simulation training, etc. questions are included.
Communication Skills Scale-Adult Form 10 minutes The form of the scale used for adults was created by Korkut Owen and Demirbaş-Çelik (2017) by adapting it to the communication skills scale. The scale consists of 25 items and 5 sub-dimensions. The first subscale, consisting of nine items, is called basic skills and self-expression. The second sub-dimension is called paying attention to communication and consists of five items. The third sub-dimension, called willingness to establish relationships, consists of three items. The fourth sub-dimension, called active listening and non-verbal communication, consists of five items. The last sub-dimension, compliance with communication principles, consists of three items. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated for the internal consistency reliability of the scale and the internal consistency coefficient of the scale was found to be .94.
