About

This study was conducted to determine the effects of obstetric violence awareness training given to midwifery students through the role-playing technique on the students' perception levels of obstetric violence and midwifery care behaviors.The study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study with 126 senior students (63 experimental, 63 control) studying midwifery at two public universities during the 2024-2025 academic year. Students in the experimental group received role-playing-based obstetric violence awareness training, while the control group received no intervention. Data were collected using the Student Personal Information Form, PercOV-S Q, and CBI-30. The effectiveness of the obstetric violence awareness training was assessed using pre-test and post-test measurements. Research hypotheses:

H1: Awareness training on preventing obstetric violence, delivered through role-playing techniques, enhances midwifery students' perceptions of obstetric violence.

H2: Awareness training on preventing obstetric violence, delivered through role-playing techniques, enhances midwifery students' perceptions of caring behaviors.

Description:

In the study, the Obstetric Violence Awareness Training Program (OVATP), structured around role-playing, was administered to students as group training by researcher. The OVATP program was completed in 8 sessions over 4 weeks for the students in the experimental group, with 2 sessions per day, once a week. To ensure active student participation, role-playing exercises were used in the sessions; scenarios involving obstetric violence and those consistent with a respectful birthing approach were dramatized. The role-playing activities were conducted with five third-year midwifery students from the same university. The scenarios were specially prepared by the researcher and finalized after obtaining the opinions of five experts working in the field. The scenarios were rehearsed by the researcher before implementation. The researcher manag
