Brief summary

Woman centred childbirth care has become more meaningful and important in today's conditions. Although women-centred childbirth care is frequently mentioned in the literature, it is thought that there are no studies on this subject and it will be beneficial to train midwives on this subject. In this study, it is aimed to examine the effect of online education that will be given to midwives based on the Midwifery Model of Women-Centred Childbirth Care, on both patient-centred care competency and job satisfaction levels.

Detailed description

Research type: Semi-experimental research -Pre-test with control group, post-test designed- Population and sample selection: The universe of the study consists of all midwives who work in the childbirth unite. The effect rate of the intervention in the research, for which the studies on the job satisfaction level of midwives are descriptive in the literature, is unknown. Therefore, Cohen standard effect rate was used. According to the sample size analysis performed in the G-Power program for the sampling, a total of 48 volunteers will be included in the study, with the power of the research being 80%, the alpha of 0.05 and the Cohen standard effect ratio of 0.8, as 26 for the intervention group and 26 for the control group. It is planned to include 52 midwives. Hypotheses 1\. Hypothesis: H0: There is no difference in patient-centered care competence levels between midwives who attended the Women-Centred Midwifery Care Training Program and those who did not.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient Centred Care Competency2 monthsHwang et al. (2017) developed this scale. It has 4 sub-dimensions and contains 17 items. The scale is 5-point Likert type and the answers range from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree).Considering the whole scale, the total Cronbach Alpha coefficient calculated as 0.850.
Job Satisfaction2 monthsWeiss, Davis, England ve Lofquist (1967) developed this scale. Scale is evaluated with a 5-point Likert-type scale (very satisfied- 5 points; satisfied- 4 points; indecisive- 3 points; not satisfied- 2 points; not satisfied- 1 point). In scoring, 100 is the highest score and 20 the lowest. Below 25 points indicates low job satisfaction, 26 - 74 points normal job satisfaction, 75 and above points indicate high job satisfaction. The Cronbach Alpha value was found to be 0.77.
