Summary

In midwifery education, simulations often cover areas such as labor and neonatal care, emergency management, birth complications, and routine maternal care. High-reality simulation mannequins allow students to practice a variety of skills, such as managing normal deliveries and complications, providing care during caesarean section, or performing initial interventions on the newborn. It increases knowledge, critical thinking, confidence and competence, especially in obstetric emergencies where clinical exposure may be limited. Simulation supports the development of both technical and non-technical skills, including teamwork. To be effective, simulation needs to include briefing (feedback), good communication, observation, repetition, reflection and evaluation. However, it remains a valuable tool for creating safe learning environments that mimic real clinical scenarios without patient risk. It helps students practice staying calm and working in an organized manner in the face of stressful situations they may encounter in real life.

BEHAVIORAL

simulation training

One group of students will practice computer-based simulation for pre-eclampsia and eclampsia case management skills using a high-fidelity simulator (n = 15) (subgroups n=3), while the other group will practice with a low-fidelity model (n = 15; subgroups n=3). In the first stage, the case will be written for the high-fidelity simulator and will be submitted to the opinions of experts in the field. After the necessary arrangements are made, the groups will be randomized and allocated. In the second stage, the experimental group will be presented with a virtual reality simulator, and the control group will be presented with a case example of preeclampsia and eclampsia with a low-level simulator. In order to evaluate and increase the teamwork skills of the students in the experimental and control groups, the students will be divided into subgroups of three.
