Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cooperative teaching methods have been used widely in medical education. The
aim of this study was to determine the effect of theater in the clinical stage on postpartum hemorrhage
management among midwifery student.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was an experimental study, performed in 2016 among midwifery
students in Isfahan University of Medical Sciences and selected through the random sampling method.
Satisfaction questionnaire and clinical practice checklist were completed by both groups before and
after the education. The collected data were analyzed using independent t‑test and paired test. The
significant level was considered statistically <0.05.
RESULTS: The findings of independent t‑test did not show any significant difference between
satisfaction and clinical practice scores of theater and control group before intervention while a
statistically significant difference was observed in after intervention between the scores of two groups
(P = 0.001). Paired t‑test showed a statistically significant difference in satisfaction and clinical practice
score in two groups after intervention theater and control group, respectively (P = 0.002, P = 0.002).
CONCLUSION: Theater method in postpartum hemorrhage can be increased satisfaction and
clinical practice levels in midwifery students. Hence, the conduction of this educational model is
recommended as an effective learning.
