Summary

This trial tests whether practicing mosaic art for six weeks helps midwifery students improve the fine motor skills needed for episiotomy repair, a common procedure after childbirth. Researchers will compare 106 third-year students who do mosaic art before standard training with those who receive only standard training. The study measures self-efficacy, skill performance, anxiety, and attitudes toward learning to see if art-based practice offers an educational edge.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Mosaic art practice
What this could lead to
If mosaic art practice improves fine motor skills and reduces anxiety, it could become a low-cost teaching tool to help midwifery students master episiotomy repair more confidently.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial with 106 students, so results may not apply broadly. The effect on real-world clinical skills remains uncertain, and any benefit might not persist beyond the training setting.
