dc.description.abstractProblem: Emergency obstetric management is essential in midwifery training to prevent fetal and maternal morbidity. Repeating this management in practice is often not possible. Sustainable confidence in these procedures is usually achieved in the first few years of practice. Background: Simulation training complements hands-on learning and improves practical skills, benefiting both students and patients. Research on obstetric emergency simulation training have demonstrated this, but the use of digital simulation approaches, such as augmented reality (AR), is under-researched. Aim: To investigate whether AR simulation training influences midwifery students’ subjective perceptions of knowledge, confidence and practical skills in emergency situations. Methods: A descriptive exploratory study was conducted using a pre-post design. AR scenarios were developed on the topics of ’preparing emergency tocolysis’, ’preparing a pregnant woman for caesarean section’ and ‘resuscitation of newborns’. The AR simulation was conducted in the fourth to fifth semester of the midwifery programme. A questionnaire was developed for students (N = 133) to self-assess their competence in the categories of knowledge, confidence and practical skills. Results: Students rated their competence significantly better in the post-survey than in the pre-survey (p=<0.05). Simulation has an impact on self-assessment of professional knowledge, confidence and practical skills in emergency situations. It enhances students’ procedural knowledge and practical skills in complex contexts, complements subject knowledge and builds confidence. Conclusion: The results provide initial evidence that AR simulation is an effective learning strategy for emergency management preparedness. Future studies should validate the effect with control cohorts and measure competence through practical examinations.en_US
