Summary

This study tested whether midwifery students who practice episiotomy repair in pairs learn better than those who practice alone. 92 students were split into two groups. The paired group worked together on calf tongues, while the control group practiced individually. Researchers measured knowledge, self-confidence, and anxiety before and after training.
