Simulation Teaching Method and Vaginal Examination in Midwifery Students

Randomly assigned experimental group students performed eight different vaginal examination scenarios in the laboratory on the fetal monitoring and labor progress model set for cervical dilatation, cervical effacement, presenting fetal part, presence of amniotic membrane and fetal descent. The researchers repeated the vaginal examination scenario and informed the students about the evaluation results after each student had performed the vaginal examination scenario prepared by the researchers. This process continued until the experimental group students completed eight different vaginal examination scenarios.
