NCT ID NCT07567430
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares three ways of teaching midwifery students about preeclampsia and eclampsia: a digital game, a simulation, and traditional lectures. The goal is to see which method boosts knowledge, motivation, and attitude the most. 120 fourth-year midwifery students will take part, and their learning will be tested before, right after, and one month after the training.
