This study aims to evaluate the effect of using inverted classroom design on students' knowledge, skills and anxiety levels in teaching episiotomy application and repair, one of the interventions frequently used in labour.
The flipped classroom is a new and popular teaching model in which lessons traditionally conducted in the classroom become homework or homework responsibilities and lessons that would normally constitute homework become classroom lessons. In the flipped classroom, students become responsible for their own learning process and need to manage their own pace of learning, while the teacher helps the students instead of simply imparting information. While flipped classrooms are seen to offer many positive educational outcomes, they also have some limitations. In the flipped model, student learning achievement and satisfaction can be increased and it is considered to be more economical than traditional teaching. The literature shows that the flipped teaching model requires both opportunities and challenges. Within the scope of the study, in order to evaluate the effect of using inverted classroom design in teaching episiotomy application and repair on students' knowledge, skills and anxiety levels, midwifery students taking normal birth and postnatal period courses will be divided into two groups, one group in the form of traditional teaching and one group in the form of inverted classroom design during the application of episiotomy teaching. The study data will be collected through Student Identification Form, State Anxiety Inventory, Episiotomy Information Form and Episiotomy Skill Evaluation Form. The data obtained from the study will be analysed with SPSS programme. It is thought that the study will make an important contribution to the literature in terms of evaluating the effect of the inverted classroom on teaching episiotomy repair.

State Anxiety Inventory (STAI)
The State Anxiety Inventory consists of 20 items and requires the individual to answer how he or she feels at a certain moment and under certain conditions, taking into account his feelings about the situation he is in.

High scores indicate high anxiety, low scores indicate low anxiety.
Time frame: 1 hours
Episiotomy Information Form
It consists of 25 propositions (questions) to measure the knowledge level of students about episiotomy. 13 of these propositions were prepared as true propositions and 12 as false propositions, and the participants were asked to answer as 'agree', 'disagree' and 'no idea'. Correct answers given by the students to the propositions were evaluated as 1 point, wrong and I have no idea answers as 0 points. The lowest score that can be obtained from the information form is 0, and the highest score is 25.
Time frame: 1 hours
Episiotomy Skill Assessment Form
Form; It consists of 15 items, including the steps of holding the porthole correctly, knotting the sutures properly, repairing the superficial perineal muscles with one-by-one sutures, and application and repair of episiotomy. Each item in the form was scored as "3" if the student fulfilled the procedure in the item, "2" if partially fulfilled, and "1" if not. The total score that can be obtained from the form is minimum 15 and maximum 75.
