Summary:
This research was planned to examine the effects of hybrid simulation-based breastfeeding consultancy training on midwifery students' psychosocial care competence and communication skills. The research population will consist of second-year students studying at Health Sciences University (SBU), Hamidiye Faculty of Health Sciences (HSBF), Department of Midwifery in the spring semester of the 2023-2024 academic year (N: 80). Students participating in the study will be divided into intervention (n: 40) and control (n: 40) groups according to the computer-assisted simple random sampling technique. Control group students will practice on a simple breast model within the scope of classical education. "Descriptive Information Form", "Psychosocial Care Competency Self-Assessment Scale" and "Communication Skills Scale-Adult Form" will be applied to the students participating in the research.

Primary Outcome Measures: Introductory Information Form, In this form, created by the researchers based on the literature, the participants' age, high school they graduated from, previous simulation training, etc. questions are included., 10 minutes|Psychosocial Care Competence Self-Assessment Scale, The scale was developed by Karataş and Kelleci in 2020. The four-dimensional scale, which consists of 18 valid and reliable items and is called "symptom identification", "use of information", "intervention" and "diagnosis", is a 5-point Likert type. Item, internal consistency and test-retest analyzes were used for the reliability of the scale and it was determined that the internal consistency coefficient was 0.93 and its sub-dimensions were between 0.80 - 0.93., 10 minutes|Communication Skills Scale-Adult Form, The form of the scale used for adults was created by Korkut Owen and Demirbaş-Çelik (2017) by adapting it to the communication skills scale. The scale consists of 25 items and 5 sub-dimensions. The first subscale, consisting of nine items, is called basic skills and self-expression. The second sub-dimension is called paying attention to communication and consists of five items. The third sub-dimension, called willingness to establish relationships, consists of three items. The fourth sub-dimension, called active listening and non-verbal communication, consists of five items. The last sub-dimension, compliance with communication principles, consists of three items. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated for the internal consistency reliability of the scale and the internal consistency coefficient of the scale was found to be .94., 10 minutes
