Baby massage class boosts student Know-How, study finds
NCT ID NCT07304804
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a short baby massage training session could improve what midwifery students know about infant massage. 64 third- and fourth-year students were split into two groups: one got a 30-45 minute training with video and practice, the other got no training. Afterward, the trained group scored much higher on a knowledge quiz, showing that even a brief, hands-on lesson can make a difference.
