Brief summary
The study aimed to investigate the impact of simulation-based training on nursing students' perception of positive birth and natural birthing approaches.
Detailed description
This study aimed to determine whether simulation-based training could improve the perception of positive birth and natural birthing approaches among fourth-year nursing students. The study used a randomized controlled quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test. The intervention group received hybrid simulation, while the other received video-modeling training. The study used several tools to assess the impact of the training, including the Demographic Information Form, Natural Birth Approach Questionnaire, Student Satisfaction and Confidence in Learning Scale, Satisfaction with Education Methods Questionnaire, and Natural Birth Approach Clinical Skills Guide.
Interventions
OTHERhybrid simulation
During the hybrid simulation, a student and a standardized patient participated. The patient wore a wearable pregnancy model. Before the start of the Natural Birth Approach Scenario, a pre-briefing session was conducted. The student's performance during the simulation was recorded on video, and each simulation lasted approximately 30 minutes. After the simulation, a debriefing session was held with the student, and feedback was given. Scales were used to evaluate the implementation of the practices.
OTHERvideo-modeling
The students in the group had the opportunity to learn through an educational video that followed the Natural Birth Approach Scenario. Afterward, they put their knowledge into practice and were evaluated using the Birth Approach Clinical Skills Guide. A feedback session followed the practice session. Finally, they were assessed using scales to measure their performance.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Natural Birth Approach Questionnaire | change from before implemention and 4th week of after practice | The researchers developed a measurement tool to assess students' knowledge, opinions, and approaches to natural birth. The tool uses a scoring system where correct statements receive one point and incorrect statements receive zero points. The total score ranges from 0 to 100 points. |
| students' self-confidence and satisfaction | through simulation practices completion, an average of 5 weeks | It is a scale published by the National League for Nurses (NLN) to measure students' attitudes and beliefs about simulation.The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 65 and the lowest score is 13. |
| education methods satisfaction | through simulation practices completion, an average of 5 weeks | It evaluates the degree of contentment of the student with the teaching methodology implemented.In evaluating the satisfaction with training methods, students are scored from 20 to 80. |
| Natural Birth Approach Skills | through simulation practices completion, an average of 5 weeks | The researchers developed a checklist to assess skills. Each item was evaluated on a 3-point scale indicating inadequacy, partial sufficiency, or sufficiency. The checklist consists of 21 items. The total score ranges from 21 to 63 points. |
