ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Midwifery care in Japan faces challenges regarding continuous support for women with twin pregnancies following Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). To address this, we developed online resources aimed at fostering maternal instincts among these women and evaluated their effectiveness.
OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate the effectiveness of developed online resources in enhancing midwives’ knowledge.
METHODS:
Participants were divided into the intervention (wherein educational resources were viewed) and non-intervention (wherein educational resources were not viewed) groups; a randomized controlled trial was conducted. A multiple-choice knowledge test designed for this study was applied to measure effectiveness. Descriptive statistics were calculated with regard to demographic characteristics and scores on the knowledge test for both groups. Covariate analysis was applied with relation to the primary endpoint, namely, total scores on the knowledge test administered post-test. This study was conducted with approval from the Teikyo University of Science Research Ethics Review Committee (Approval code: 24A019).
RESULTS:
A total of 64 respondents (31 and 33 from the intervention and non-intervention group, respectively) were included as study participants. Pretest scores were 0.94 (SD±0.85) and 0.45 (SD±0.62) for the intervention and control groups, respectively. Posttest scores increased to 1.97 (SD±1.28) and 0.52 (SD±0.76) for the intervention and control groups, respectively. Covariate analysis revealed that the effects of the interventions were statistically significant (p<0.001).
CONCLUSIONS:
The online resources were found to be effective in enhancing midwives’ knowledge. The contents of these resources are grounded in qualitative research and have been deemed relevant to specific care-related challenges that commonly arise in practice. Moving forward, these resources need to be applied in clinical practice, and the long-term learning effects will warrant evaluation.
KEY MESSAGE:
Online educational resources significantly improved midwives’ knowledge in supporting women with twin pregnancies after ART. Grounded in qualitative research, these resources address real-world care challenges and show potential for practical application in clinical settings. Poster session 3 (Group B)
