Comparing the effect of education using educational booklet, E-book phone and podcasting on midwives' knowledge about legal issues and professional regulations
This study is conducted with the aim of comparing two new methods of education with e-books and podcasts with the traditional method, booklet, on knowledge of midwives working at chosen Mashhad hospitals. Participants include all midwives working in different departments of the hospitals that have informed consent and had associate degree of midwifery or higher. Lack of consent for participating the study, leaving employment in midwifery profession during the study will be exclusion criteria. Midwives in the hospitals are divided into three groups and each group will receive one training method. E-book on cell phones that can be run on most mobile phones will be designed and given to first group. The second group will get education via audio podcasts that is placed on the a website. In the third group learning takes place through the booklet. Assessment of knowledge in the study will be completing researcher-made questionnaire before and 8 weeks after education. If any of these methods be effective, can be used for promoting midwives knowledge in this field.
