Description
Sampaio and co-authors pool trial evidence on simulation training for obstetric emergencies among health care students. Their 2026 Obstetrics and Gynecology International review searched four databases through September 2025 for randomized trials. Nine studies compared hands-on simulation teaching with traditional classroom methods for birth emergencies.
Seven trials, with a few hundred students in total, fed the combined analysis, and simulation produced clearly larger knowledge gains after training. Some trials also reported better teamwork and critical thinking among the simulation students. Results varied a lot between settings, and the range of plausible effects crossed zero, so benefits may depend on context. The authors call for studies on how long the skills last and whether patients fare better.
