| description | Abstract Background Having the ability of managing obstetric emergencies is the necessary capability for providing care during labor and delivery.Simulation is considered to be a valuable strategy for empowering midwifery students in managing emergencies. So, this study was conducted to determine the structural empowerment of midwifery students following the simulation-based training of management of midwifery emergencies. Methods This semi-experimental research was conducted from August 2017 to June 2019 in the Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery, Isfahan, Iran. 42 subjects of the third-year midwifery students were included in the study through convenience sampling method (n = 22 in the intervention group, n = 20 in the control group). Six simulation-based educational sessions were considered for the intervention group. Conditions for Learning Effectiveness Questionnaire, was used at the beginning of the study, one week after it and one year later. Repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze the data. Results In the intervention group, the significant difference was observed between the mean score of the students’ structural empowerment before and after the intervention (MD=-28.41, SD = 3.25) (p < 0.001), before and one year after the study (MD=-12.45, SD = 3.47) (p = 0.003), and immediately after and one year after the study (MD = 15.95,SD = 3.67) (p < 0.001). In the control group, no significant difference was observed. Before the intervention, there was no significant difference between the mean score of the students’ structural empowerment in the control and intervention groups (MD = 2.89, SD = 3.50) (p = 0.415); but, immediately after the intervention, the mean score of structural empowerment in the students of the intervention group was significantly higher than those of the control group (MD = 25.40, SD = 4.94 ) (p < 0.001). One year after the study, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of the mean score of the structural empowerment (MD = 6.89, SD = 3.58 ) (p = 0.061). Conclusion Simulation contributed to the structural empowerment of midwifery students by providing the opportunity for personal and professional growth and strengthening of the formal and informal power in the area of midwifery emergency management but these benefits were not seen at one year. |
