Brief summary: This study was planned to determine the effect of scenario-based high-fidelity electronic fetal monitoring simulation method on midwifery students' self-efficacy-efficacy and situational anxiety levels. The study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study. This RCT will be administered following the CONSORT 2010 guidelines. Midwifery students will be 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. 40 students selected for the intervention group will be given high-fidelity simulator and information on case-based learning will be given to 40 students selected for the training and control group. "State Anxiety Inventory" and "Self-Efficacy-Efficacy Scale" will be applied as a pre-test after the briefing. High-fidelity simulator application training will be applied to the intervention group students, accompanied by a scenario, and case-based learning method will be applied to the control group students. After the training, "State Anxiety Inventory", "Self-Efficacy-Efficacy Scale" and "Satisfaction with Educational Methods Questionnaire" will be administered to all students. Three months after the training, the "State Anxiety Inventory" and "Self-Efficacy-Efficacy Scale" will be administered to the students again.

Detailed description: It was planned to determine the effect of scenario-based high-reality Electronic Fetal Monitoring (EFM) simulation method on midwifery students' self-efficacy, competence and situational anxiety levels.

The population of the research will be Health Sciences University Hamidiye Health Sciences Faculty Midwifery Department 3rd year students (N:80). In this study, which was planned as a quasi-experimental pre- and post-test design and with a control group, all students who are actively studying in the 3rd year of the midwifery department, whose sample selection was not made, will form the scope of the research, and individuals who volunteered to participate in the study will form the sample of the research.

The students who volunteered to participate in the study will be assigned to the intervention and control groups with a computer-assisted simple random sampling method. Computer-assisted randomization will be used in the study, and random assignment will be made to the intervention and control groups by entering the number of cases through the program whose URL is https://www.randomizer.org. After 4 hours of theoretical training on EFM application and interpretation are given to all students, intervention group students will be given a scenario-accompanied high-validity simulation laboratory application, and control group students will be given only case-based learning technique.

All groups will be informed before the applications. In this context, a question-and-answer session will be held by giving information about the applications to be made regarding the research. Students will be 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. 40 students selected for the intervention group will be given high-fidelity simulator and information on case-based learning will be given to 40 students selected for the training and control group. Before the application, all groups will be given theoretical information about electronic fetal monitoring for 4 hours with a power point presentation. "State Anxiety Inventory" and "Self-Efficacy Scale" will be applied as a pre-test after the briefing. High-fidelity simulator application training will be applied to the intervention group students, accompanied by a scenario, and case-based learning method will be applied to the control group students. After the training, "State Anxiety Inventory", "Self-Efficacy Scale" and "Satisfaction with Educational Methods Questionnaire" will be administered to all students. Three months after the training, the "State Anxiety Inventory" and "Self-Efficacy Scale" will be administered to the students again.
