Abstract

Simulation is a powerful educational tool for training future professionals and for continuous professional development coaching of novice healthcare professionals who should provide quality technical, educational and relational care with professionalism and humanism for patients. This paper examines the potential of using simulation technology into professional coaching of novice’s midwives in a rural maternity in northern of Morocco. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using simulation technology in continuing training programs for obstetrical emergencies to improve the professional skills of novice midwives.

The study involved 19 novice’s midwives working in rural maternity units in northern of Morocco who agreed to participate in the study and who are currently involved in the management of obstetric emergencies, particularly the management of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. A simulation-based training course about how to manage pre-eclampsia and eclampsia was organized for them.

The findings showed that novice’s midwives who participated in a simulation-based management of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia course were very satisfied with the training and rated their experience as very positive in terms of developing targeted skills.

Using simulation technology enables greater cohesion between theoretical learning and clinical practice, increases educational interest, self-esteem and motivation, and ensures successful integration into the work environment of novice midwives.
