Teaching Method With Simulation in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Management

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Teaching Method With Simulation in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Management

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus is one of the common risk factors of pregnancy and occurs for the first time during pregnancy. It adversely affects maternal and fetal health and causes an increase in morbidity and mortality rates. In this context, it is very important to identify possible risks for GDM, plan, implement and evaluate initiatives, provide emergency crisis management in a short time without damage, and increase the self-confidence of midwives. In recent years, interest in simulation methods and skill acquisition training in midwifery education has increased. Research; In the management of GDM, to increase the satisfaction and self-confidence level of midwifery students in learning, to evaluate the simulation design and educational effectiveness, it was planned to use the scenario-based near-realistic simulation method in the form of randomized control-intervention quantitatively, and in qualitative design to evaluate the students' views on the method and educational effectiveness. The research will make it easier for midwifery students to intervene with the patient in a shorter time, with confidence and with sufficient clinical skills, and patient safety will be increased. In addition, it will allow the reduction of erroneous clinical practices and malpractices. This study aims to evaluate the satisfaction and self-confidence status of midwifery students and the educational effectiveness of the scenario-based simulation method with high closeness to reality in GDM management and to examine the opinions about this method to fill the gap in the literature.

The information evaluation form is in a multiple-choice format consisting of 25 questions by scanning the literature by the researchers. Each question is worth 4 points.

The scale is a 13-item measurement tool designed to measure student satisfaction with simulation and self-confidence during practices. It is a 5-point Likert type and is scored as strongly disagree 1, disagree 2, undecided 3, agree 4, strongly agree 5.

The simulation method applied and designed to the intervention group is used in the evaluation of the participants. The simulation design scale consists of 20 items in total. Evaluation of the scale is done in two stages. In the first stage, in order to evaluate whether the items used in the simulation method were given in the best way for the participant, they were expressed as strongly disagree, disagree, undecided, agree, strongly agree. In the second stage, there are statements that will determine the level of importance of the scale items for the participant, not important, partially important, undecided, important, very important. In the evaluation phase, the scale score is calculated by dividing the total and the total of the sub-dimensions by the number of items.

It is a form consisting of 5 semi-structured questions created by the researchers after a comprehensive literature search in order to evaluate the simulation training effectiveness. With these questions, it was aimed to determine the strengths and weaknesses of training with the simulation method regarding GDM management, the opportunities/opportunities it provides and the threats and dangers created by this method.
