Mixed Reality Training for Teaching Cervical Effacement and Dilation
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Labor; Poor, Primary
In brief
The aim of this educational research is to determine whether a mixed reality-based training program is effective in teaching midwifery students how to assess cervical effacement and dilation. The study also examines the impact of mixed reality on students' cognitive load, sense of presence, and midwifery professional perception. The main questions the study seeks to answer are: Does mixed reality training reduce students' cognitive load? Does mixed reality increase the students' sense of presence? How does mixed reality-based training influence students' professional perception of midwifery? Do students who receive mixed reality training perform better in assessing cervical effacement and dilation on real pregnant women compared with the control group?
