Etamine Processing on Episiotomy Repair Skills, Stress and Learning Attitudes in Midwifery Students

Before the intervention, students in the intervention group will complete the Informed Consent Form, Personal Information Form, Perceived Stress Scale, and Attitudes Towards Learning Scale (pre-test). In the first week, a 45-minute etamine training (history, tools, basic techniques) will be given individually by the scholarship holder (Şeyma Demir). Techniques such as threading, knotting, and cross-stitching will be taught, and students will apply a simple pattern, correcting mistakes. Room conditions (21℃) and student comfort will be ensured, with restricted access. One week later, students will practice weekly for 3 weeks (45 minutes each) using the Etamine starter set. In week five, the project manager will provide 2 hours of theory and 4 hours of practical episiotomy training. Students will then be assessed with the Episiotomy Repair Skill Form (post-test). Final evaluations will include the Perceived Stress Scale and Attitudes Towards Learning Scale (post-test).
