Mis Nahid Golmakani, Mis Sedigheh Yousefzadeh,
Volume 9, Issue 1 (8-2012)
Abstract

  Background and Objective: Evaluation is one of the most important parts of any academic program. One of the latest methods used for clinical assessment is Log book, in which clinical activities and techniques based on educational objectives are recorded to establish learning, recognize inaccessible objectives and provide students’ continuous evaluation. The aim of this study was to assess midwifery students’ perspective about clinical evaluation based on Log- book.

  Material and Methods: ­ this descriptive research was conducted on 72 senior midwifery students who had been evaluated once by traditional method. In the beginning of the semester, a Log book­ accompanied by two check list of­ clinical evaluation and self evaluation are delivered to students. The instruments’, a researcher-made questionnaire, content and face validity were confirmed by a few faculty members of the university. Using SPSS software, we reported frequencies, mean and standard division of the data and analyzed by statistical tests.

  Results: The students’ viewpoint on the effectiveness of Log book is 71% (nearly desirable) in­ maternal and ­child health education­, ­ 67.6­ %( relatively desirable) in prenatal training­, 75.3% (­desirable­) ­ in gynecology clinic and ­74.2 %( nearly desirable­) in labour department­.

  Conclusion: ­­ In terms of our results, midwifery students’ perspective about using Log book in clinical evaluation is positive therefore, we suggest it as an effective evaluation method.

Abstract
Background: Patient interview is the most common professional activity of clinicians. Effective interview can strengthen clinician-patient relationship and improve treatment outcomes. In some studies, such as saboori et al. (87-86) and Managheb et al. (2010), the Calgary-Cambridge model-based learning skill is effective in interviewing skills, while in other studies including Rezvani (2014), communication skills based on the Calgary-Cambridge model did not mention effective interviewing skills. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of communication skills training through the Calgary-Cambridge model on interviewing skills among midwifery students.
Methods: This two-group pretest-posttest randomized controlled field trial was conducted in 2017–2018. The number of participants was thirty including the students in the sixth and eighth semester of bachelor of midwifery conveniently recruited from Golestan University of Medical Sciences, Gorgan, Iran. Initially, their interviewing skill was assessed using Evan and colleague’s History-taking Rating Scale. Then, they were randomly allocated to a control (15) and to an intervention group (15) through stratified randomization based on their interviewing skill scores and their academic semester. Participants in the control group did not receive any communication skills training, while those in the intervention group received communication skills training based on Calgary-Cambridge model in four four-hour sessions held twice weekly (16 hours). Interviewing skills in the control and in the intervention groups was re-assessed respectively four weeks after pretest and four weeks after the intervention. Exclusion criteria were unilateral withdrawal from the study, two or more absences from communication skills training sessions, and failure to attend the communication skills assessment session. Therefore, one student in the control group and one student in the experimental group were excluded. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (v. 18.0).
Results: The pretest mean score of interviewing skills in the intervention and the control groups was 33.71±7. 342 and 33.64±6.021 respectively, with no significant between-group difference (P = 0.978). At posttest, the mean score of interviewing skills in the intervention and the control groups was 54.50±8.169 and 33.93±5.399 respectively and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001).
Conclusions: Communication skills training through Calgary-Cambridge model is effective in significant improving midwifery students’ interviewing skills. The Calgary-Cambridge model could be used as part of the midwifery educational curriculum to improve the skills of interviewing midwifery students.

Volume 17, Issue 2 (4-2020)
Abstract
Background: Communication skills are of top priority for health care provider's professional traits and communication is an essential part of the midwifery care. Many studies of midwifery and midwifery students' communication skills are poor and average. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of communication skills training through the Calgary Cambridge model on communication skill among midwifery students.
Methods: This randomized controlled field trial was conducted in 2018. Thirty midwifery students were recruited using conventional sampling method from Golestan University of Medical Sciences, Gorgan, Iran. Then subjects was assigned into two experimental and control groups by stratified random allocation method. Initially, their communication skill was assessed using Queendom scale. Participants in the experimental group received communication skills training based on Calgary-Cambridge model in four four-hour sessions held twice weekly. The control group did not receive any intervention. Communication skill in both control and experimental groups was re-assessed respectively four weeks after pretest. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test, the independent-sample t test and the paired-sample test in SPSS-16 software.
Results: The pretest mean scores of communication skill in the experimental and the control groups were respectively 122.43±9.40 and 122.29±7.81, with no significant between-group difference. At post-test, the mean score of communication skill in the experimental and the control groups was respectively 122±8.06 and 120±8.08 and the between-group difference was not significant (P=0.51).
Conclusion: Communication skills training through Calgary-Cambridge model is not effective in significantly improving midwifery students’ communication skill. Therefore, to improve communication skills, this model is insufficient and may need to be modified, or it is necessary to add more intervention to this model.

Abstract
Background: The knowledge and attitudes of nurses and midwives, as well as nursing and midwifery students on pediatric pain are crucial in the management of hospitalized children’s pain. However, few studies have addressed the preparedness of nursing and midwifery students to manage children’s pain based on their knowledge and attitudes. This study therefore assessed nursing and midwifery students’ knowledge and attitudes pertaining to children’s pain management.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 554 nursing and midwifery students who were in their last year at four nursing and midwifery training institutions in city Ghana in 2018-2019. Data were collected over a three-month period using the Pediatric Nurses’ Knowledge and Attitudes Survey regarding pain (PNKAS). Data analyzed by the SPSS version 25 and presented using descriptive statistics and independent T test and one-way ANOVA.
Results: Participants had an average PNKAS score of 42.1% (range: 21.4% to 81.0%). The nursing and midwifery students in either public (44.1%±7.9%) or private (43.7%±9.6%) university had significantly higher scores than those in a public nursing and midwifery training college (40.3%± 6.9%) (p<.001).
Conclusion: Nursing and midwifery students in the study generally had insufficient knowledge and attitudes toward children’s pain. There is an urgent need to intensify education in this area so as to adequately prepare these students to cater to the pain needs of vulnerable children and their families. Future studies should focus on how student’s theoretical knowledge and attitudes are linked to their pediatric pain assessment and management practices.
