Simulation-Based Subcutaneous Injection Training in Midwifery Students
Effects of Different Simulation-Based Approaches to Subcutaneous Injection Training on Learning Outcomes, Self-Efficacy, and Anxiety in Midwifery Students
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare three simulation-based approaches for teaching subcutaneous injections to first-year midwifery students. A subcutaneous injection is an injection given into the tissue just under the skin. The main questions this study aims to answer are:
Do the three teaching approaches lead to different levels of learning and injection skills? Do the approaches affect students' confidence in performing the skill? Do the approaches affect students' anxiety during injection practice?
Researchers will compare three groups of midwifery students. One group will practice on the abdominal area of a patient-care mannequin. A second group will practice on an injection training pad placed on a peer's abdomen. A third group will practice on an injection training pad placed on their own abdomen.
Participants will first receive the same classroom teaching and laboratory instruction on subcutaneous injection. One week later, they will practice the injection according to the group to which they were randomly assigned. No medication will be injected into a participant's body; the practice will use training equipment and saline solution. After the practice, researchers will assess participants' learning, injection skills, self-efficacy, and anxiety.
調査の概要
状態
詳細な説明
This randomized controlled study evaluates three simulation-based approaches to teaching subcutaneous injection skills to first-year midwifery students. All students will receive the same theoretical instruction and laboratory-based teaching on subcutaneous heparin injection. During the laboratory session, students will practice the standardized steps of the procedure using the Subcutaneous Heparin Injection Practice Guide. One week later, participants will repeat the procedure according to their randomly assigned training approach.
The three approaches differ in the level of physical realism and personal involvement during practice. Students will perform the procedure either on the abdominal area of a patient-care mannequin, on an injection training pad placed on a peer's abdomen, or on an injection training pad placed on their own abdomen. For safety, the simulation will use an insulin syringe containing saline instead of a prefilled heparin syringe. The study is designed to determine whether these different practice contexts provide different educational experiences during subcutaneous injection training and to inform future clinical skills teaching strategies in midwifery education.

時間枠 |
|---|---|---|
|
Perceived Learning
時間枠:Immediately after the simulation-based practice session
|
Perceived learning will be assessed using the Perceived Learning Scale.
The scale consists of 9 items covering cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning.
Total scores range from 9 to 63, with higher scores indicating greater perceived learning.
|
Immediately after the simulation-based practice session

|
Self-Efficacy for Subcutaneous Injection
時間枠:Immediately after the simulation-based practice session
|
Self-efficacy will be assessed using the Subcutaneous Heparin Injection Self-Efficacy Form.
Participants rate how competent they feel in performing the skill safely and correctly on a scale from 1 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater self-efficacy.
|
Immediately after the simulation-based practice session

|
State Anxiety
時間枠:Immediately after the simulation-based practice session
|
State anxiety will be assessed using the State Anxiety Inventory.
The scale consists of 20 items and yields a total score ranging from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater state anxiety.

Subcutaneous Injection Skill Performance
時間枠:During the simulation-based practice session
|
Subcutaneous injection skill performance will be assessed using the Subcutaneous Heparin Injection Practice Skills Checklist developed by the researchers based on current literature and expert review.
The checklist evaluates whether the required steps of the procedure are performed correctly.
Higher total scores indicate better subcutaneous injection skill performance.
