Low Fidelity Prototype Uterus Model - Initial Design of Uterus Organ Product as Learning Media for Handling Postpartum Hemorrhage

Abstract

Background & Aims: Professionalism and competence of midwife graduates begins with the educational process that is carried out with all human resources and existing facilities and infrastructure including learning media for handling postpartum hemorrhage. This study aimed to create an innovative uterus model as a learning medium for handling post-partum hemorrhage. Methods: The research method used research and development (R&D) referring to the 4D model namely define, design, develop, and disseminate with 120 respondents from midwifery institutions in Surabaya. Results: The results of the research from the define stage obtained information that the uterus model learning media for handling post-partum bleeding due to uterine atony and placental retention used was still inadequate. At the design stage, the Low Fidelity Prototype of the Uterus Model was obtained, namely in the form of a Sketch of the Uterus Model Product which serves to develop the product design scheme until it finally becomes the final product “Uterus Model”. The uterus model media is designed with characteristics: resembles the original picture, resembles the shape of the uterus, transparent/translucent, spongy consistency, easy to obtain materials, the part in question (placenta) in the uterus appears from the outside and is a new product (not a copy of an existing model). Conclusion: The existing uterus model as a learning media has not been able to provide an actual picture. The existing uterus model as a learning media has not been able to provide an actual picture.
