The Use of 360° <scp>VR</scp> Video, Educational Videos, and High‐Fidelity Physical Models in Teaching Breech Birth ‐ A Pilot Feasibility Study
The teaching program significantly increased maternity staff's confidence in their knowledge and management skills whilst decreasing their anxiety surrounding vaginal breech birth. However, participants did not perceive the 360<sup>o</sup> virtual reality being of added value. Further studies should examine whether this program leads to objective change in vaginal breech birth knowledge and management skills and ultimately improved clinical outcomes. Additional studies should explore which types of virtual reality technology benefit breech birth education.
