| Introduction: In addition to the mother's health, midwifery students should also consider the health of the fetus. In this line, learning skills such as evaluation of the heart and lung systems as part of the medical team is of great importance. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of heart and lung examination using a simulation mannequin with lectures on midwifery students' knowledge and confidence.
Method: This is a quasi-experimental study in which they participated 28 midwifery students assigned randomly in two groups of mannequin-based simulation and lecture group. The data collection tool was knowledge and confidence questionnaire. Data were analyzed using central and distribution parameters as well as T-test.
Result: The mean ±SD score of knowledge at stimulation with mannequin group and lecture after intervention was 9.21±0.8 and 5/5±1/95, respectively. Significant differences were observed between the two groups (P<0.0001). Also, there was a significant difference between the mean ±SD score of confidence after the intervention by simulation with mannequin 25.35 ±3.65 and lecture 15 ±3.61 group (P>0/0001).
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, using the mannequin is an effective way in increasing the knowledge and confidence heart and lungs assessment. Therefore, training centers can be used for these methods, so that the learners spend less time in learning these life-saving techniques. |
