Art Education and Creativity in Midwifery Students

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Art Education (Cross-Stitch Training): This intervention consists of structured art education provided over four weeks, including at least 10 hours of basic cross-stitch (etamin) training. Students will engage in manual artistic practice requiring attention, fine motor skills, and sustained focus. The intervention aims to enhance imagination, individual creativity, and state mindfulness in midwifery students. Outcome measures will be collected at baseline and immediately post-intervention.

Study summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of art education on imagination, individual creativity, and state mindfulness levels in midwifery students. The study will be conducted among third-year midwifery students at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Selçuk University, Türkiye. A total of 110 students will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group.

Students in the intervention group will receive at least 10 hours of structured art education (basic cross-stitch training) over four weeks, while the control group will receive no additional intervention. Data will be collected before and after the intervention using the Two-Dimensional Imagination Scale, the Individual Creativity Scale, and the State Mindfulness Scale.

The primary objective is to compare changes in imagination, creativity, and mindfulness scores between the intervention and control groups. It is hypothesized that students who receive art education will demonstrate significantly higher levels of imagination, individual creativity, and state mindfulness compared to those who do not receive the intervention.

The findings are expected to contribute to the development of holistic, student-centered educational strategies in midwifery education.
