Journal Title: New Medicine - Year 2013, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
<b>Aim. </b>The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of two simulation courses for midwifery students.<br><b>Material and methods. </b>There were 30 midwifery students enrolled in the study at Semmelweis University, the Faculty of Health Sciences between February and May 2011. The descriptive study examined the effectiveness of a common compulsory course: “Clinical simulation” and a special course following it: “Case studies in simulation” using the METI Simulation Effectiveness Tool (SET). Students completed the SET after the common compulsory course and also after the special course, by rating its statements. Results were compared by the authors.<br><b>Results.</b> The common compulsory course: “Clinical simulation” was effective. After the special course: “Case studies in simulation” we realized remarkable improvement in assessment skills, in the skill of critical thinking and self-confidence.<br><b>Conclusion.</b> METI SET is a useful tool for evaluating our students’ perception; however, more objective assessment tools should be used for the evaluation of our students’ development in simulation.
