NCT ID NCT07236853
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether practicing hand sewing can improve the suturing skills of midwifery students. About 83 third-year students will be randomly assigned to practice hand sewing or not, and their suturing abilities will be measured using skill checklists and self-confidence surveys. The goal is to see if a simple, low-cost activity can help students learn a key medical skill more effectively.
