Objectives The high status of midwifery within the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is closely tied to enhancing clinical education. The purpose of this study was to review the effect of education on the knowledge and practice of midwifery students about Intrauterine Device (IUD) and Pap smears. Methods This quasi-experimental study was conducted over the course of four semesters, involving 128 bachelor of midwifery students. The sampling method was non-random, utilizing convenience sampling. Four consecutive 45 min weekly sessions were held, which included three theory sessions and one practical training session. Education was conducted in face-to-face training sessions using different methods such as lectures, question and answer, slide shows, educational films and brochures, and training participants with moulage. The data were gathered using a questionnaire covering demographic characteristics, various aspects of IUD and Pap smear knowledge, along with checklists for IUD insertion and Pap smear. Paired-samples T-test and multiple regression test were used to analyze the data. A significance level of p<0.05 was set for the analysis. Results The results of this study showed that there was a significant difference in the average knowledge across various aspects of IUD and Pap smear before and after the intervention (p<0.001). On multiple regression analysis, residence and income significantly influenced knowledge (β=0.313, p=0.001 and β=−0.384, p=0.001, respectively). Also, multiple regression analysis indicated that the use of IUD among family or friends and age significantly impacted practice (β=−0.450, p=0.005 and β=−0.206, p=0.030, respectively). Conclusions The educational intervention yielded a noticeable enhancement in the knowledge and practical skills of midwifery students. These students tend to achieve higher levels of success and deliver superior services to both patients and clients.

Background Individuals with disabilities encounter several challenges such as limited educational opportunities, restricted access to academic resources, and delays or shortages of support services. These challenges impede their access to medical services, a critical aspect of their well-being. This study aims to examine the current status of health education by selecting and analyzing health education programs for the visually and hearing impaired using the scoping review method. Methods Research questions were organized into population groups, concepts, and contexts following the established guidelines. Data comprised research papers on health education programs for individuals with visual and hearing impairments. Databases searched included Cochrane, Ovid MEDLINE, and Google Scholar for gray literature. The search strategy employed specific keywords and key phrases. Selection criteria focused on literature evaluating the educational impact in intervention studies (experimental and quasi-experimental) of health education programs for visually and hearing impaired individuals, sourced globally. Two independent researchers reviewed Eligible full-text articles and extracted data into a standardized table. The analysis results were summarized using descriptive statistics, including frequency and percentage. Results The literature search identified 3,168 articles, 34 of which were selected for analysis. Among these, 19 pertained to the visually impaired, while 15 focused on hearing impaired. Interventions for the visually impaired predominantly addressed acquisition and development, primarily through face-to-face sessions. Healthcare providers predominantly facilitated these interventions, primarily within healthcare institutions. Similarly, interventions for the hearing impaired primarily concentrated on acquisition and development, mainly through face-to-face interactions. The dropout rates averaged approximately 25.7% for the visually impaired and 23% for the hearing impaired. Outcome variables included physical function, psychosocial factors, behavior-related variables, and knowledge-related variables in both cohorts. Conclusions This scoping review undertaken in this study presents an exhaustive examination of tailored health education programs for individuals with visual and auditory impairments. The findings provide new insights into the effects of specific intervention types and the challenges faced by individuals with visual and hearing impairments. This underscores the necessity for continuous innovation and research directed toward enhancing health education strategies.
