About

Research Hypotheses H1: Midwifery students who practice Etamine have higher episiotomy repair skills than those who do not.

H2: Midwifery students who practice Etamine have lower perceived stress levels than those who do not.

H3: Midwifery students who practice Etamine have higher learning attitudes than those who do not.

Enrollment: 104 estimated patients

Sex: Female

Ages: 18 to 30 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• The inclusion criteria for the study include students who are willing to participate in the study and who do not have any learning or working experience related to episiotomy repair.

Exclusion criteria

• Students with diagnosable diseases affecting their learning ability, those who have had accidents during the training and assessment sessions, and foreign nationals will be excluded from the study.

Etamine Application Group /Intervention

Experimental group

Description:

Before the intervention, students in the intervention group will complete the Informed Consent Form, Personal Information Form, Perceived Stress Scale, and Attitudes Towards Learning Scale (pre-test). In the first week, a 45-minute etamine training will be provided individually by the scholarship holder (Şeyma Demir) in the clinical skills lab. Basic techniques will be taught and students will apply a simple pattern. Environmental conditions (21℃) and student comfort will be ensured, and the room will be restricted during practice. One week later, students will continue etamine practice for three weeks, 45 minutes per week. In the fifth week, the project manager will deliver episiotomy training (2 hours theory, 4 hours practice), followed by assessment in the clinical lab using the Episiotomy Repair Skill Form (post-test). Final evaluations will include the Perceived Stress Scale and the Attitudes Towards Learning Scale (post-test).

Treatment:

Other: Etamine Application Group /Intervention

Control

No Intervention group

Description:

Control group students will receive the same episiotomy training (2 hrs theory, 4 hrs practice) as the intervention group, without the additional etamine application. They will complete the Informed Consent Form, Personal Information Form, Perceived Stress Scale, and Attitudes Towards Learning Scale (pre-test) during the first meeting. Measurement conditions (21℃ room temperature, restricted access) will be standardized to ensure comfort and reduce bias. Five weeks later, episiotomy training will be delivered by the project manager, followed by observational assessment using the Episiotomy Repair Skill Form (post-test). Final evaluations will also include the Perceived Stress Scale and the Attitudes Towards Learning Scale. After the study, etamine training will be optionally offered to the control group to ensure equal skill opportunities.
