Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Etamine Application Group /Intervention	Before the intervention, eligible midwifery students who agreed to participate were informed verbally and in writing, and completed the Informed Consent Form, The Participant Information Form, Perceived Stress Scale, and Scale of Attitudes Towards Learning (pre-test). Forms were distributed by a department assistant not involved in the study. During the first two weeks, students in the intervention group received individual 45-minute etamine (cross-stitch) training in the clinical skills laboratory, including introduction to materials and basic techniques, followed by practice of simple patterns. Students continued etamine practice for six weeks (12 sessions, 45 minutes each). Six weeks later, all students received episiotomy education (2-hour theory by the researcher and 6-hour practical training by two independent instructors). Students practiced suturing on a model and were evaluated
