Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are second-year midwifery students who are taking the Prenatal Period-I course for the first time and have not received prior EFM training.
✕Probably not a fit
Students who are absent on the day the EFM topic is taught will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study examines the impact of peer education on midwifery students' knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy in Electronic Fetal Monitoring (EFM). It employs a randomized controlled pre-test-post-test design, where students receive standard EFM training followed by peer teaching. The effectiveness of this approach is evaluated through various assessment tools, including an achievement test and a self-efficacy scale. The goal is to enhance the clinical skills of midwifery students in monitoring fetal health during pregnancy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve the training and preparedness of midwifery students in EFM, leading to better fetal health monitoring.
How similar studies have gone: While peer education in medical training is a recognized approach, this specific application in EFM training for midwifery students is relatively novel.
