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.).

Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills
Timeframe: All students will be asked to apply a simple running suture to the sponge after the intervention is completed. Evaluators will evaluate students using this form throughout the application (approximately 30 minutes).
Continue sutur skill evaluation form
Timeframe: The researchers will monitor and complete the student's application as they complete it. The application will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. Students will be monitored throughout the process using this form (approximately 30 minutes).
Episiotomy Skills Self-Efficacy Scale
Timeframe: It will be used as a pre-test 5 minutes after the standard training. It will be used as a post-test 5 minutes after students practice the simple running suture.
Perceived Learning Scale
Timeframe: It will be used as a pre-test 5 minutes after the standard training. It will be used as a post-test 5 minutes after students practice the simple running suture.
Clinical Skills Self-Efficacy Scale
Timeframe: It will be used as a pre-test 5 minutes after the standard training. It will be used as a post-test 5 minutes after students practice the simple running suture.
State-Trait Anxiety Inventory
Timeframe: It will be used as a pre-test 5 minutes after the standard training. It will be used as a post-test 5 minutes after students practice the simple running suture.
