Development of interactive obstetric emergency learning media for midwifery students at Adiwangsa University, Jambi, Indonesia

Abstract

In line with the principles of Industry 4.0, the creation of innovative and interactive educational materials plays a pivotal role in advancing IT competencies. Consequently, the government initiated a curriculum outlined in PP No. 70 of 2013. This endeavor not only seeks to enhance the abilities of midwifery students in managing emergencies but also holds the potential for profound impacts on their competence and proficiency in executing clinical procedures, particularly in handling cases that support their work in the realm of midwifery and healthcare services. This research is aimed at assessing the proficiency of midwifery students in interactive obstetric emergency learning processes, providing valuable insights into their preparedness for responding to obstetric emergency cases in healthcare settings. The research design employed for this study is cross-sectional. The study population and sample encompassed 40 midwifery students at Adiwangsa University in Jambi. The findings pertaining to interactive learning resources for obstetric and uterine atony emergencies indicate that the majority of student and lecturer needs are adequately met. The results of prototype validation, as evaluated by students, lecturers, and media experts, demonstrate high validity values and excellent assessments from both lecturers and media experts, thereby confirming its suitability for educational use. Notably, several respondents expressed that the interactive YouTube MP4 video content was highly effective in enhancing the abilities and competencies of midwifery students. The results of the chi-square statistical test indicate a significant relationship between student needs and interactive learning resources (P-value = 0.000). However, for lecturers, there was no discernible relationship between their needs and the chosen learning resources (P-value = 0.091). In conclusion, the development of interactive educational resources for addressing emergency obstetric uterine atony, primarily based on YouTube MP4 videos, is evidently a valuable asset appreciated by midwifery students. Furthermore, it proves to be a suitable tool for lecturers aiming to enhance the abilities and competence of midwifery professionals in the realm of healthcare services, consistent with the scope of their practice. This educational resource is anticipated to be integrated into both theoretical and practical courses, facilitating the preparation of future professional midwives under the guidance of educators and supervisors.
