Gamified training boosts midwives' skills in managing deadly bleeding after birth
NCT ID NCT07688122
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares a web-based gamification program to standard online teaching for midwifery students learning how to manage postpartum hemorrhage—a leading cause of maternal death. Researchers will measure changes in knowledge, motivation, clinical self-confidence, and satisfaction. The goal is to see if game-like elements make training more effective and engaging.
