This is a study protocol outlining a three-phase plan to design, implement, and validate a mobile application for childbirth preparation classes aimed at improving midwifery students' performance.
Phase 1 involves designing and validating a mobile application for childbirth preparation classes based on national guidelines for physiological delivery in Iran, targeting midwifery students. Phase 2 plans to evaluate the application using Kirkpatrick's model. Phase 3 involves expanding the app to other medical students, midwives, and physicians based on the first two phases. The study aims to address the need for virtual education during the Covid-19 pandemic to improve midwifery students' knowledge, attitude, and practice. The authors state the app will help prioritize resources and promote maternal and infant health. Key limitations noted include restricted access to researchers and students during the pandemic, and the need for future national-level research.
