About this trial
The overall aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of hand-held suture exercises on non-locking continuous suture skills used in episiotomy repair in midwifery students. The study, conducted with a randomized, single-blind, controlled design, aimed to generate evidence of psychomotor skill transfer using Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills based performance scores and secondary indicators (time, number of errors, etc.).
