Stitching skills: Cross-Stitch training boosts medical Students' repair abilities?

NCT ID NCT06930001

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether practicing etamine (cross-stitch) helps midwifery students learn episiotomy repair better, feel less stressed, and have a more positive attitude toward learning. 110 students were split into two groups: one received 45-minute etamine training, the other did not. Researchers measured their repair skills, stress levels, and learning attitudes using standard forms. The goal is to see if a simple craft can improve hands-on medical training.
