Vaginal Birth Related Perineal Traumas and the Importance of Experimental Trainings
Perineal trauma caused by vaginal delivery is a problem that can occur in various ways from
small lacerations to anal sphincter injury and one that negatively affects the quality of life of
the woman. Specialists or midwives liable at perineal trauma repair are required to complete
the intervention training for perineal trauma before their clinical practice and increase their
skills with in-service training. The most important training materials used in the trainings
organized for this purpose are the models consisting of materials that have very close
properties to the actual tissues and organs. The aim of this study is to reveal the importance
of skills training given to individuals responsible for repairing perineal traumas and to evaluate
the effect of different application examples in this field.
