Simulation and skills training support the development of midwifery competencies. Midwives will already be familiar with torsos, dolls and pelvises to simulate abdominal palpations, neonatal resuscitation and mechanisms of labour. The use of high-fidelity simulation through technologically advanced manikins in skills training for the midwifery students has also been developed, and it is hoped that this will increase students' performance in effectively managing maternal resuscitation and other obstetric emergencies after simulation in clinical labs. Simulation has great benefits, such as increasing the interaction between educators and students and using experiential learning, or learning through doing and reflecting. Skill performance, critical thinking, and self-confidence can all be assessed and evaluated during the simulation experience.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
