The paired t-test value of 1.371 was not statistically significant at the p< 0.05 level in the control group. In contrast, the pre-test and post-test mean scores of the experimental group were 15.45 and 22.30, respectively, with a mean difference of 6.85. The calculated paired t-test value of 11.777 was statistically significant at the p< 0.05 level, indicating that midwives gained significantly more knowledge after the intervention in the post-test
