Detailed Description
-----------------
This study was planned to determine the effect of simulation-based postpartum hemorrhage management on the application skills, satisfaction, self-confidence and self-efficacy-competences of Health Sciences University Hamidiye Health Sciences Faculty Midwifery Department 3rd year students. The research population consisted of 3rd grade students who took the Risky Birth and Postpartum Period course, studying at the Department of Midwifery, Hamidiye Faculty of Health Sciences, in the spring semester of the 2021-2022 academic year (N:82). Students who volunteered to participate in the study were included in the study. In the study, the entire target population was reached, except for the 4 students who were absent from the Risky Birth and Postpartum Period course (N:78). Computer-assisted randomization will be used in the study, and random assignment was made to the intervention (n:39) and control (n:39) groups by entering the number of cases through the program whose URL address is https://www.randomizer.org. An introductory information form was applied to all groups, and informed consent was obtained from the students before the applications. The students were given information about the introduction of the simulator and the model, the flow chart of the training plan, the content of the training plan, the environment, the locations of the materials. Before the application, all groups were given theoretical information about postpartum hemorrhage management for 2 hours with a power point presentation. Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence Scale in Learning and Self-Efficacy Scale were applied as a pre-test after the information. Intervention group students were given practical training on postpartum hemorrhage assessment and management in the basic skills laboratory, accompanied by an adult standard patient care model, with a high-reality Gaumard Scientific brand, product code: S550.100 Noella simulator in the simulation laboratory of the Midwifery department. After the application, Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale, Self-Efficacy Scale and Early Postpartum Hemorrhage Management Skill Assessment Form were applied to all students as a post-test, and Scale for Evaluation of Simulation-Based Learning to the intervention group. Four weeks after the training, the Early Postpartum Hemorrhage Management Skill Assessment Form and Self-Efficacy Scale were applied to the students again as a follow-up test. After the research was completed, postpartum hemorrhage management was applied to the control group students with a high-reality simulator, accompanied by a scenario, so that all students could benefit from the benefits of simulation-based education. At the end of the simulation applications, an analysis session was held for the students accompanied by the video recordings taken during the applications. During the debriefing session, it was aimed to help students see their mistakes and organize their practices without judging by using a constructive language.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Introductory Information Form | In this form, which was created by the researchers based on the literature, the participants' age, the high school they graduated from, the education level of their parents, their willingness to choose the profession, their feeling of belonging to the profession, etc. questions are included. | 5 minutes | 
| Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence Scale in Learning | According to the Turkish version of the scale, the total number of items is 12. This scale measures student satisfaction and self-confidence towards learning in a simulation environment. The scale consists of two sub-titles: Satisfaction with Current Learning and Self-Confidence in Learning. There is no negative item in the scale. A 5-point likert expressing student feelings was used; 1) Strongly disagree, 2) Disagree, 3) Undecided, 4) Agree, and 5) Strongly Agree. Cronbach's alpha value was 0.85 for Satisfaction with Current Learning and 0.77 for Self-Confidence in Learning. In the scoring of the scale, the formula of dividing the total score obtained by the answers by the number of item 33 is used. In the scoring, 1 point was determined as the lowest and 5 points as the highest. As the total score obtained from the scale increases, student satisfaction and self-confidence in learning increase. | 10 minutes | 
| Self-Efficacy Scale | The scale, which does not belong to any subjective domain, measures the perception of general self-efficacy and efficacy. The Self-Efficacy Scale is structured as a 5-point Likert-type scale consisting of 23 items, and a minimum of 23 and a maximum of 115 points can be obtained from the scale. For each item on the scale, one of the options 1-Does not describe me at all, 2-Describes me a little, 3-I am undecided, 4-Describes me well, 5-Describes me very well, is based on the score given for each item. Items 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20, and 22 on the scale are scored in the opposite direction. An increase in the total score that can be obtained from the scale indicates that the general self-efficacy-efficacy perception is high. | 10 minutes |
