Summary

This study looked at whether simulation-based training for vaginal exams helps midwifery students feel less anxious and more confident. 67 third-year students were split into two groups: one practiced on a simulator in a lab, the other in a real clinical setting. Results showed that simulation training significantly reduced anxiety in both groups, and those in the lab group felt more satisfied and confident. However, students who practiced in a real clinical setting had better technical skills. The takeaway: simulation is great for building confidence, but hands-on clinical practice is still essential for mastering the skill.
