education provided by using creative drama method on the communication skills, self-
esteem, and organizational conflict resolution skills of midwifery undergraduates.
METHODS The research was conducted as a semi-experimental ‘controlled pretest–
posttest’ method. The study was carried out with freshmen studying midwifery at a public
university in Western Turkey (n=52) between 30 September and 30 December 2017. Data
were collected by means of the Communication Skills Inventory, Rosenberg Self-Esteem
Scale, and Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory-II. Throughout the research process,
a 12-week lesson plan covering the stages of the creative drama method was applied.
During the collection of the data, the scales were applied to the group as pretest, posttest
while dependent t-test was applied for analyzing purposes.
RESULTS Communication Skills Inventory behavioral communication skills created a
significant difference between Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale self-esteem subscale scores
(p>0.05). No significant difference was detected among the Rahim Organizational Conflict
Inventory sub-dimension mean scores (p>0.05).
CONCLUSIONS Findings obtained from the research reveal that the creative drama
method effectively develops communication skills, self-esteem, and conflict resolution
skills for midwifery undergraduates.
