This study was conducted as a randomized controlled study to determine the effect of digital
 stories prepared with a digital audio file (podcast) on learning in midwifery education. The
 study was carried out with Kocaeli University Midwifery 3rd grade students. Between October 3
 and October 7, 2022, which is the beginning of Kocaeli University 2022-2023 academic year
 academic calendar, a meeting was held with students about working outside the classroom. The
 study was completed with 65 students as experimental (n=33) and control group (n=32). Data
 were collected with participant information form, knowledge test, digital stories evaluation
 questionnaire prepared with digital audio file (podcast). These stories, which consist of
 three parts about preparation for natural birth, ideal birth environment and natural birth,
 were recorded in an appropriate environment and quality, accompanied by a trainer who is an
 expert in digital audio files (podcast) designs. The knowledge test was applied as a pre-test
 in the first encounter with the students who accepted the study. Digital stories were sent to
 the students in the experimental group in the form of e-mails. At the end of the unit, a
 post-test was administered to both groups. Again, 21 days later, the study was completed by
 conducting a retention test (knowledge test) and a digital story evaluation questionnaire
 prepared with a digital audio file (podcast) for both groups. After the study, digital
 stories prepared with a digital audio file (podcast) were sent to all students in the control
 group who completed the study, allowing the students to reinforce the subject. While
 evaluating the findings in the study, Number Cruncher Statistical System 2020 Statistical
 Software (NCSS LLC, Kaysville, Utah, USA) program was used for statistical analysis. While
 evaluating the research data, quantitative variables were shown with mean, standard
 deviation, median, min and max values, and qualitative variables were shown with descriptive
 statistical methods such as frequency and percentage. Shapiro Wilks test and Box Plot plots
 were used to evaluate the suitability of the data for normal distribution. Student's t-test,
 Mann Whitney-U test, Kruskal Wallis test, Dunn test, Spearman correlation analysis, linear
 regression, chi-square test, Fisher's Exact test, Isher's Exact test and Fisher Freeman
 Halton and F test were used. The results were evaluated at 95% confidence interval and p0.05
 significance level.
