NCT ID NCT07229183
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether simulation training helps midwifery students learn family planning counseling and how to create educational materials. 96 students were split into groups: one practiced with trained actors, another with fellow students, and a control group did not get simulation training. The goal was to see if simulation improves their skills compared to standard teaching.
