Interventionist procedures
CDG
DILATION, VAGINA
The main researcher generated a randomization sequence in size 4 permuted blocks in a 1:1 ratio. The students were drawn by using closed envelopes, and allocated to the control or intervention (CDG) groups.Models with different dilations were placed in a random sequence on the laboratory bench before the procedure; in addition to that, the researchers and participants were blinded to cervical dilation. Individually, each student entered the laboratory room and was monitored by one of the researchers.In each model, the students were instructed to use their dominant hand and introduce their index and middle fingers through the vagina up to the cervix. The fingers were then opened until their external tips reached the opposite margins of the cervical orifice. The distance was considered from the beginning of the outer tip of the index finger to the end of the outer tip of the middle finger. There was no time limit to perform the assessments. Thus, when assessing the dilation contained in the dilation models, the Control Group participants conveyed their estimates in centimeters, which were then simultaneously recorded on the form by one of the researchers. Likewise, the CDG Group participants initially assessed each dilation available in the dilation models, and then compared their estimates in the CDG that was presented by the researcher. At each confirmation, the researcher made the due records on the form.At the end of the verification done by the participant, an external evaluator provided the actual measurements of cervical dilation found below each simulation model, and the researcher completed the second section of the data collection form.
