The Effect of Web-Based Education Given to Midwives and Nurses on Their Knowledge Levels Regarding ERAS Protocols Applied in Gynecological and Obstetric Surgery

In this research, a pretest-posttest single group quasi-experimental model will be used. The study will be conducted to determine the effect of web-based training given to midwives and nurses on their level of knowledge regarding ERAS protocols applied in gynecological and obstetric surgery. It will be carried out with midwives and nurses working in the Gynecology and Obstetrics units (clinic, operating room, delivery room) of a state hospital located in a city in the east of Turkey. As an initiative, "web-based training on ERAS protocols applied in gynecological and obstetric surgery" will be provided to Midwives and Nurses. The pre-test data of the research will be collected face to face by the researcher between 1-30 November 2023 with midwives and nurses working in the relevant units in the relevant hospital, information will be given about the research and midwives and nurses who meet the sampling criteria will be given a "Descriptive Characteristic Form" and "ERAS Knowledge Test". will be implemented. Educational program; It will be implemented over a period of 1.5 months through a website specially prepared for midwives and nurses. After the training is completed, the "ERAS Protocols Applied in Gynecological and Obstetric Surgery" booklet will be given. In the web-based training system, the training will be uploaded 6 times with an interval of 1 week for midwives and nurses to listen to, and after the training is completed (January 15-21, 2024), the "Descriptive Feature Form" and "ERAS Knowledge Test" will be re-applied and post-test data will be collected.

The population of the research will consist of 88 midwives and nurses working in the gynecology and obstetrics units of the relevant hospital (clinic, operating room, delivery room). A pre-study power analysis was conducted using the "G Power-3.1.9.2 Program" according to the paired t test, which will be used to compare the pre-test and post-test knowledge levels of the midwives and nurses to be included in the study. It was determined that a total of 45 midwives and nurses should be included in the study with a medium effect size (0.5), 5% margin of error and 95% confidence interval.

The sample of the research will include 55 midwives and nurses (10 additional person will be taken considering the possibility of data loss), who are selected from the population by improbable random sampling method, meet the research criteria and agree to participate in the research. As an initiative, "web-based training on ERAS protocols applied in gynecological and obstetric surgery" will be provided to Midwives and Nurses.
