The goal of midwifery undergraduate education is; To provide students with basic professional knowledge, skills and attitudes in cognitive, affective and psychomotor dimensions. Various practices are used to provide students with midwifery skills. Case studies, maintenance processes, laboratory applications, field studies, simulation application and video monitoring are some of these applications. Each of these approaches, which are especially preferred in applied courses, has an important place in increasing students' self-efficacy and reducing their anxiety. Episiotomy is one of the obstetric interventions that negatively affects the self-efficacy of midwifery students and causes anxiety. Midwives are responsible for performing and caring for episiotomy. In many countries, episiotomy repair training is given to midwifery students using sponges or models. However, today the use of calf tongue, which is very similar to perineal tissue, has become widespread. There are a limited number of studies in the literature using calf tongue simulation. These studies suggested that the practice improved the skills of midwifery students. No study has been found in the literature using video-assisted episiotomy repair training.
