Effects of Concurrent Irrelevant Visual Stimuli on Learning Outcomes in Midwifery Education
Split Attention in Midwifery Education: Effects of Concurrent Irrelevant Visual Stimuli - A Randomised Controlled Trial
This randomized controlled trial was designed to evaluate the effects of concurrent instructionally irrelevant visual stimuli on learning-related outcomes among third-year midwifery students. Participants were assigned to either a split-screen educational condition or a standard instructional condition. Both groups received the same 45-minute theoretical session on delivery-room management of the newborn. The intervention group was exposed to an unrelated soap-cutting video displayed concurrently with the educational presentation, whereas the control group received standard PowerPoint-supported instruction. The primary outcome was attitude toward learning. Secondary outcomes included theoretical knowledge, state anxiety, academic motivation, and satisfaction with the teaching method. Outcomes were assessed immediately after the educational session.

详细说明
The study used a two-arm, parallel-group, post-test-only randomized controlled design.
Eligible third-year midwifery students who had not previously completed the Newborn and Child Health course were randomly allocated to intervention and control groups using a computer-generated sequence prepared through Randomizer.org.
The educational session addressed physiological transition from fetal to neonatal life, prenatal and delivery-room preparation, thermal management, rapid neonatal assessment, umbilical-cord management, initial newborn care, and early skin-to-skin contact.
Both groups received standardized theoretical instruction delivered by the same instructor using identical educational materials and session duration.
In the intervention group, an instructionally irrelevant soap-cutting video was presented in the lower portion of the screen while the lecture slides remained visible above it. The control group received conventional PowerPoint-supported instruction without additional visual stimulation.
The educational intervention lasted 45 minutes. Outcome measures were administered immediately after the session.
The study was designed to investigate whether concurrent irrelevant visual stimulation influenced students' attitudes toward learning and related educational outcomes.

|
Attitude Toward Learning Scale (ATLS) Score
大体时间：Immediately after completion of the 45-minute educational session.
|
Attitude toward learning was assessed using the 40-item Attitude Toward Learning Scale. Items are rated using a five-point Likert response format. Higher total scores indicate more positive attitudes toward learning. |
Immediately after completion of the 45-minute educational session.

Theoretical Knowledge Score
大体时间：Immediately after the educational session.
|
Theoretical knowledge regarding delivery-room management of the newborn was assessed using a researcher-developed 10-item multiple-choice test. Total scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater knowledge. |
Immediately after the educational session.

|
State Anxiety Score
大体时间：Immediately after the educational session.
|
State anxiety was assessed using the 20-item State Anxiety subscale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Total scores range from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater state anxiety. |
Immediately after the educational session.
