Overview

Aim: The main aim of this research survey is to describe methodology behind simulation situations for midwifery students studying towards bachelors degree and to evaluate their effect on the students.

Methods: The respondents were sixteen midwifery third year students. The students actively participated in simulation scenarios in a subject Porodní Asistence III. at Faculty of Health Studies in University of Pardubice from September to November 2019. The research survey was based on teaching simulated situations with immediate feedback from teachers, evaluation straight after from the respondents as well as with the focus group and via written feedback. The aim of facilitated discussion was to identify shortfalls in simulation teaching with good practice and educational method in mind. Furthermore, the students anonymously gave written evaluation.

Results: Methodology for each simulation was made and they formed part of the teaching. The simulations were mainly seen as a good way for learning. The biggest benefit was learning midwifery skills in real like situations, team work and effective communication.

Conclusion: Based on the results, learning through simulation seems as an effective method for pre-degree midwifery students mainly with the aim on obstetric emergencies. .
