This randomized controlled study was conducted to evaluate the effect of simulation-based oxytocin induction training on midwifery students' knowledge and anxiety levels. The study population consisted of third-year midwifery students enrolled in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Istanbul Medipol University during the spring semester of the 2024-2025 academic year. Eligible students who volunteered to participate were randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group. Both groups received theoretical training on oxytocin induction management. In addition to the theoretical training, the intervention group received simulation-based oxytocin induction training using a high-fidelity simulator and a standardized patient. Data were collected between April and May 2025 using the Introductory Information Form, Oxytocin Induction Knowledge Assessment Form, Objective Structured Clinical Evaluation Form, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Simulation Design Scale, Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale, and Educational Practices Questionnaire.
7,207 studies on the registry are indexed under Anxiety Disorders; 1,682 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 80 is close to the median of 80 across 6,062 interventional studies indexed under Anxiety Disorders.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Participants in this arm received theoretical training on oxytocin induction. In addition to the theoretical training, they received simulation-based oxytocin induction training using high-fidelity simulation and a standardized patient.
Behavioral: Theoretical Training on Oxytocin Induction · Behavioral: Simulation-Based Oxytocin Induction Training
Participants in this arm received theoretical training on oxytocin induction and did not receive the additional simulation-based training.
Behavioral: Theoretical Training on Oxytocin Induction
Participants received theoretical training covering the principles and clinical management of oxytocin induction.
Following the theoretical training, participants in the intervention group received simulation-based training on oxytocin induction management using a high-fidelity simulator and a standardized patient.
Change in Oxytocin Induction Knowledge Score
Knowledge of oxytocin induction was assessed using the 28-item Oxytocin Induction Knowledge Assessment Form. Each item was answered as "True," "False," or "I do not know." Correct answers were scored as 1, while incorrect answers and "I do not know" responses were scored as 0. The total score ranged from 0 to 28, with higher scores indicating a higher level of knowledge regarding oxytocin induction and its management. Changes in total knowledge scores between baseline and follow-up assessments were evaluated.
Time frame: At baseline, before theoretical training, and 5 weeks after theoretical training
Change in State Anxiety Score
State anxiety was assessed using the State Anxiety subscale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The subscale consists of 20 items and produces a total score ranging from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating higher levels of state anxiety. The change in total state anxiety score between the assessment time points was evaluated.
Time frame: At baseline, before theoretical training, and 5 weeks after theoretical training
Ran from Nov 2024 to primary completion in May 2025, 6 months.
Of 3,841 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Anxiety Disorders, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 28. This study's 6 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 3,943 studies reached it within 12 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 28.
