Disaster Midwifery Training
Conditions
Brief summary
This research was planned to examine the effect of disaster midwifery education on the disaster risk perception and self-efficacy levels of midwifery students. The research universe will consist of third-year students studying at the Department of Midwifery, Hamidiye Faculty of Health Sciences (HSBF), Health Sciences University (SBU) in the spring semester of the 2023-2024 academic year (N: 80). In this semi-experimental pre-test and post-test design and control group planned research, in order to determine the sample size; the data were normally distributed, the standard deviation of the main mass was estimated as 1 and the effect size (effect size, difference) as 0.8. For the analysis to be conducted, it was calculated that the highest power value of the research would be 0.942182 in the case of taking two independent n₁=40, n₂=40 samples at a 5% significance level. The G-power analysis result is given below. Students who volunteer to participate in the study will be assigned to the intervention and control groups using the computer-aided simple random sampling method. Computer-aided randomization will be used in the study, and the number of cases will be entered through the program with the URL address https://www.randomizer.org and random assignment will be made to the intervention and control groups. The study will be conducted single-blind. Midwifery students will be administered the Disaster Risk Perception and Self-Efficacy Scale in Disaster Intervention before and 8 weeks after the first training. Each training period is limited to 60 minutes, once a week.
Interventions
OTHEREducation
Midwifery students in the intervention group of the study will receive 8 weeks of disaster midwifery training. The training content will be covered in 8 main categories: safe prenatal, delivery and postnatal period, women's reproductive health services, family planning, immunization, violence and sexually transmitted infections and newborn and infant care, reproductive health in disadvantaged groups, emergency obstetric situations.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Introductory Information Form: | 10 minutes | This form, created by researchers based on literature, includes questions about the participants' age, high school graduation, whether they see themselves as sufficient against disasters, etc. |
| Disaster Risk Perception Scale | 10 minutes | The scale consists of 21 items and 4 dimensions. The scale has four sub-dimensions: threat, fatalism, controllability and anxiety. The threat sub-dimension of the scale consists of seven items, the fatalism sub-dimension consists of three items, the controllability sub-dimension consists of six items and the anxiety sub-dimension consists of five items. The items in the scale are in a 5-point Likert format as 1- Strongly Disagree, 2- Disagree, 3-Partially Agree, 4-Agree, 5-Strongly Agree. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 21 and the highest is 105. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the level of disaster risk perception increases. |
| Self-Efficacy Scale in Disaster Response | 10 minutes | The Disaster Response Self-Efficacy Scale, developed by Hong-Yan Li and colleagues in 2017 and Turkish validity security studies conducted by Koca and colleagues in 2018, consists of 19 items and 3 sub-dimensions, and the answers are taken with a 5-point Likert scale. A high score from the scale indicates a high level of disaster response self-efficacy. The scale has three sub-factors. Sub-factors: On-Site Rescue Competence (Items 1 - 11), Disaster Psychological Nurse Competence (Items 12 - 15) and The nature of the role undertaken in the disaster and adaptation competence (Items 16 - 19). The Cronbach alpha coefficient for the entire scale is 0.96. The Cronbach alpha values taken for the sub-dimensions are; on-site rescue competence was determined as 0.93, disaster psychological nurse competence was determined as 0.93, the quality of the role undertaken in the disaster and adaptation competence was determined as 0.93 |
