The effect of new model PREPARED on obtaining informed consent skill in midwifery students of Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences

Abstract

Background:Professional ethics culture should be taught to students appropriately. Studies have shown that midwifery students are not entirely familiar with the skill of obtaining informed consent. Using a new and applicable model to teach this skill to midwifery students is necessary. This study was conducted to determine the effect of a new standard model, PREPARED, on the skill of obtaining informed consent in midwifery students of Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences.Materials and Methods:This interventional study was conducted on 37 5th semester midwifery students through a census method. After determining psychometric indices, in two phases with a 4-week interval (before and after the training), the PREPARED checklist was completed by the professors of the research team in the presence of students in the delivery room while they were performing midwifery care considering their compliance to the checklist. Descriptive statistics paired t-test were used for data analysis.Results:The lowest mean score before the training belonged to alternative methods (1.00) and treatment expenses (1.00). After the training, treatment plan had the highest mean score (3.54 (0.69)). The mean and standard deviation of scores before and after training the students were 9.12 (2.00) and 30.6824 (5.25), respectively. Based on the results of the paired t-test (P = 0.001), the difference was statistically significant.Conclusion:Results showed that the implementation of the new model of PREPARED would increase the skill of obtaining informed consent in midwifery students and could be applied for educating students of other medical majors in Iran.

Exploring the Factors Influencing the Use of Communication and Collaboration Applications

The role of the learning engagement on the use of collaboration tools has revealed significant valuable results, because the studies on this topic are not very common and focus mainly on the associations between active and collaborative learning methods and learning engagement (Noohi, Abaszadeh, & Maddah, 2013).…”

Nursing Students’ Learning Engagement Experiences During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Namibia: Implications for Nursing Education
