- Description
- Background:
Vulnerable groups, such as pregnant women, are not used in immersive simulation. This can limit opportunities for students to practice real-life clinical examinations. Nonpregnant simulated patient involvement is of limited value if realistic physiological presentations that reflect body changes in pregnancy are unavailable to perform examinations.
Methods:
The authors present an innovative and cost-effective high-fidelity method to create a wearable simulated maternity model that can be worn by nonpregnant actors to simulate pregnancy in immersive simulations in midwifery.
Results:
In this article, we provide step-by-step instructions for constructing a wearable model simulating pregnancy. This enables students to palpate fetal position, listen to the fetal heart, and assess cervical dilation.
Conclusion:
This simulation resource is cost-effective, is simple to implement, and is a highly effective means for simulating pregnancy and teaching skills and critical thinking in higher fidelity complex immersive scenarios.
