NCT ID NCT07233135
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at two different materials for teaching episiotomy repair to midwifery students: chicken breast and a special simulator. 43 third-year students practiced on one of the two models after watching an online video. The researchers measured how satisfied the students were and how confident they felt about their learning. The goal was to see which material worked better for training.
