Abstract: Midwives' preparedness in disaster situations is crucial, as women and children are vulnerable groups requiring childbirth assistance. This study examined the effect of video-based media on improving the skills of Master of Midwifery students in providing childbirth assistance during disaster emergencies. A one-group pretest-posttest design was used, involving 34 respondents selected from 73 students at Universitas 'Aisyiyah Yogyakarta. Data were collected through an online questionnaire administered via Google Forms. The procedure consisted of a pretest, followed by an instructional video on childbirth techniques in disaster situations that participants could view repeatedly for two days, and concluded with a posttest. Data analysis employed McNemar's test. Results showed that before the intervention, 85.3% of respondents were categorized as not competent, while afterward, 79.4% were considered competent. McNemar's test yielded a p-value of 0.000, confirming the significant effect of video-based media in enhancing childbirth assistance skills during disasters. These findings highlight that additional competencies beyond routine practice can be effectively acquired through technology-based media. Educational videos offer an efficient and flexible learning strategy suited to midwives' professional needs in resource-limited settings. Integrating video-based training into curricula and continuing education programs is recommended to strengthen midwives' capacity in crisis management.
