Virtual reality could revolutionize how midwives learn to assess labor
NCT ID NCT07238205
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a mixed reality (MR) training program helps midwifery students learn to assess cervical effacement and dilation. Ninety students will use 3D virtual models to practice repeatedly, then be tested on real pregnant women. The goal is to see if MR reduces mental effort, improves skill accuracy, and boosts professional confidence.
