                            <p>Aim: The aim is to determine the knowledge, skills, and practices of midwives in the application of electronic fetal monitoring. Method: This research, planned in a phenomenological design, included 12 midwives working in the delivery unit between February and April 2023. The research data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire by the researchers, following the acquisition of ethical approval and institutional permission. The data were coded using the qualitative data analysis software MaxQDA Analytics Pro. Results: The average age of the midwives was determined to be 25.91±3.84 years, and their average experience in the delivery unit was 3.50±3.26 years. While the midwives were found to have sufficient knowledge regarding the frequency and duration of Electronic Fetal Monitoring application, they had limited knowledge about the purpose of Electronic Fetal Monitoring application, early, late, and variable decelerations, sinusoidal pattern definitions, and intervention situations. Conclusion: It has been determined that midwives have limited knowledge, skills, and practices in the application of Electronic Fetal Monitoring. It is recommended that continuous in-service training be provided and evaluated for midwives on the purpose of Electronic Fetal Monitoring application, early, late, and variable decelerations, sinusoidal pattern definitions, and intervention situations.</p></trans-abstract>

Yöntem: Nitel araştırma desenlerinden fenomenolojik biçiminde planlanan araştırmaya, Şubat-Nisan 2023 tarih aralığında doğum ünitesinde çalışmakta olan 12 ebe dahil edildi.   Araştırma verileri, etik onay ve kurum izni alınmasını takiben araştırmacılar tarafından yarı yapılandırılmış soru formu aracılığıyla yüz yüze görüşme tekniği ile toplandı. Veriler, niteliksel veri analizi yazılımı olan MaxQDA Analytics Pro programı kullanılarak kodlandı. Bulgular: Ebelerin yaş ortalamasının 25.91±3.84, doğum ünitesi tecrübesinin ise ortalama 3.50±3.26 yıl olduğu belirlendi. Ebelerin Elektronik Fetal Monitörizasyon uygulama sıklığı ve süresi ile ilgili yeterli bilgiye sahip olduğu belirlenirken, Elektronik Fetal Monitörizasyon uygulama amacı, erken, geç, değişken deselerasyonlar, sinüzoidal patern tanımları ve müdahale durumları hakkında sınırlı bilgiye sahip olduğu saptandı. Sonuç: Ebelerin Elektronik Fetal Monitörizasyon uygulamasında bilgi, beceri ve uygulamalarının sınırlı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ebelere Elektronik Fetal Monitörizasyon uygulama amacı, erken, geç, değişken deselerasyonlar, sinüzoidal patern tanımları ve müdahale durumları hakkında hizmet içi eğitimlerin devamlı olarak verilmesi ve değerlendirilmesi önerilmektedir.</p></abstract>
