The Effect of Disaster Midwifery Education Program on Disaster Risk Perception and Self-Efficacy Levels of Midwifery Students

This research was planned to examine the effect of disaster midwifery education on the disaster risk perception and self-efficacy levels of midwifery students. The research universe will consist of third-year students studying at the Department of Midwifery, Hamidiye Faculty of Health Sciences (HSBF), Health Sciences University (SBU) in the spring semester of the 2023-2024 academic year (N: 80). In this semi-experimental pre-test and post-test design and control group planned research, in order to determine the sample size; the data were normally distributed, the standard deviation of the main mass was estimated as 1 and the effect size (effect size, difference) as 0.8. For the analysis to be conducted, it was calculated that the highest power value of the research would be 0.942182 in the case of taking two independent n₁=40, n₂=40 samples at a 5% significance level. The G-power analysis result is given below. Students who volunteer to participate in the study will be assigned to the intervention and control groups using the computer-aided simple random sampling method. Computer-aided randomization will be used in the study, and the number of cases will be entered through the program with the URL address https://www.randomizer.org and random assignment will be made to the intervention and control groups. The study will be conducted single-blind. Midwifery students will be administered the "Disaster Risk Perception" and "Self-Efficacy Scale in Disaster Intervention" before and 8 weeks after the first training. Each training period is limited to 60 minutes, once a week.
