“…Thus, the storytelling videos gave the students new perspectives and motivated them to learn more from the mothers' voices. Roberts et al (2021) also concluded in their study that media clips could be used to open up classroom discussions, provide some access to uncommon issues that they may not see in practice during their training, and support visual learners. Additionally, as one of the examples of using digital resources as a learning tool, O'Connor et al (2020) provided the synthesized evidence of podcasting in nursing and midwifery education.…”

To explore and describe Myanmar student midwives' perceptions of professional learning using storytelling videos of women's childbirth experiences by conducting a qualitative study and to assess potential pedagogical uses of storytelling videos in midwifery education.Methods: This pilot study used a qualitative content analysis study design implemented as part of the Diversity and commonalities of birth from women's voice sharing project of the Toyota Foundation. Storytelling videos of the childbirth experiences of seven Asian women (three Myanmar, three Lao, and one Japanese women) were viewed by the students. Thereafter, a semistructured interview with focus group discussion was conducted to explore and assess the students' perceptions.Setting: Kyaing Tong township, Shan State, Myanmar. Participants: Five second-year midwifery students from a single midwifery training school in Myanmar.Results: Data analysis of their perceptions yielded four major categories:(1) deep reverence for women/mothers;; (2) respectful attitude as a midwife to support mothers; (3) wish for a safe and secure birth environment; and (4) importance of learning from the mother's voice. Conclusions:The student midwives realized the importance of listening to the mothers' voices regardless of the nationalities or cultural background. The findings indicated that the storytelling videos broadened the students' perspectives of pregnancy and childbirth, and motivated them to provide better maternity care. Storytelling videos of childbirth experiences can be powerful educational materials for enhancing professional learning of student midwives.

“…Global shortages in nurses and midwives have led to much research on strategies to promote recruitment and retention in the healthcare workforce [ 7 , 8 ]. A notable challenge in this regard is the impact of misconceptions from individuals considering enrolment in relevant nursing and midwifery programmes [ 9 – 11 ]. These misperceptions align with those identified in a recent systematic review of the literature which found that while there exists substantial public trust in nursing, it often arises more from admiration for traditional, sentimental stereotypes of selfless, hardworking young women rather than a comprehensive understanding of the profession’s work and impact [ 12 ].…”

Aim To test a serious game intervention about nursing and midwifery perceptions among adolescent school children. Background Nursing and midwifery professions face challenges in recruitment, with persistent gender stereotypes and a lack of clarity regarding the roles contributing to this issue. This study addresses the need for innovative approaches to reshape perceptions and encourage career exploration in adolescent school children. Design Employing a pre/post-test design, this study involved 137 post-primary students aged sixteen or seventeen in the United Kingdom. Methods Data collection occurred between November 2022 to April 2023, involving three post-primary schools. Participants engaged with a digital serious game designed to address misconceptions and promote a more accurate understanding of nursing and midwifery. Participants completed pre- and post-intervention questionnaires, including an adapted version of the Nursing as a Career Choice Questionnaire. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, and independent groups t-tests. Results The serious game intervention resulted in statistically significant improvements in students’ perceptions across multiple domains. Overall, participants showed higher mean post-test scores (M = 139.57, SD = 15.10) compared to their mean pre-test score (M = 131.06, SD = 14.73) on the questionnaire. The domains of self-efficacy (p < .001), job prospects (p < .001) and social influences (p < .001) exhibited the most substantial positive changes. Female participants showed higher perceptions than males in pre- and post-tests and students from all-girls schools consistently scored higher than those from all-boys and mixed-gender schools. Conclusions A serious game about the nursing and midwifery professions appears to be capable of changing perceptions of self-efficacy and job prospects related to nursing and midwifery professions. The study suggests that a serious game intervention may have the potential to change adolescent perceptions of nursing and midwifery professions which may lead to their considering of these when making future career choices.
