Nursing and midwifery simulation training with a newly developed low-cost high-fidelity placenta simulator: a collaboration between Italy and Ethiopia
We validated a new high-fidelity simulator developed by the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa, Italy, using the TAM scale and robust statistical methods, thanks to a successful collaboration with St. Luke's Hospital in a simulation training course where students achieved higher objective scores and perceived the simulator as more useful and easier to use than a real human placenta, suggesting significant educational benefits and potential for future research.
