Abstract

Introduction: Midwifery knowledge of midwifery regulations is a major issue requiring a focused review through appropriate methods for educating midwives to improve their knowledge. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of pocket e-book as a new teaching method with the traditional midwifery knowledge brochure.
Materials and Methods: This is an experimental study in which 92 midwives were randomly selected from hospitals in Mashhad and randomly divided into three groups. Data were collected by researchermade questionnaire. Pretest was collected in groups. The first group did the exercises through the booklet; the second group received instruction through a pocket book. The third group was the control group and did not receive any training. After eight weeks, they were re-tested. Data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software.
Results: Knowledge level in all three groups was average (score 12-18). There was no significant difference between the mean of knowledge in the three groups (p> 0.05). There was a significant difference between pre-test scores (pre-intervention) and post-test (two months after intervention) in two groups of book and e-mail (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the control group. The mean score of knowledge after intervention in all three groups showed a significant difference. Both educational groups included podcasts and e-books significantly more than the control group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the mean score of knowledge in the e-book group and the booklet. (p> 0.05)
Conclusion: As these two methods of training are influential,‌training rules and regulations of midwifery profession can be performed using these methods.
