ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Child abuse and neglect are critical public health issues requiring early identification by healthcare professionals, including midwifery students. The Teach-Back method is a learner-centered strategy that promotes comprehension and knowledge retention.
OBJECTIVES:
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational program on recognizing the signs and risks of child abuse and neglect, delivered to midwifery students using the Teach-Back method.
METHODS:
A pre-test/post-test control group design was used with second-year midwifery students (n=86), randomly assigned to intervention (n=43) and control (n=43) groups. The intervention group received education using the Teach-Back method, while the control group was trained via traditional instruction. Data were collected using the Descriptive Information Form, the Scale for Identifying the Signs and Risks of Child Abuse and Neglect, and the Child Abuse and Neglect Awareness Scale, both before the training and at the 4th week after.
RESULTS:
No significant demographic differences were found between the groups. Post-test scores indicated that the intervention group had significantly higher awareness levels than the control group (p<0.05). A moderate positive correlation was observed between awareness and identification scores in the intervention group. However, there was no significant difference between groups in terms of improvements in identifying signs and risks.
CONCLUSIONS:
The Teach-Back method effectively increased students’ awareness of child abuse and neglect. However, it did not significantly improve their ability to identify associated signs and risks.
KEY MESSAGE:
While the Teach-Back method enhances awareness in midwifery students, additional strategies may be necessary to improve their diagnostic skills regarding child abuse and neglect. Ethics: The study was approved by an institutional ethics committee, and informed consent was obtained from all participants. The authors declare no conflict of interest. Poster session 3 (Group B)
