The skills required to safely manage vaginal breech birth are declining among healthcare professionals, while midwifery students have limited practice opportunities due to its rarity. Innovative techniques, such as simulation and gamification, have the potential to enhance the acquisition of these essential skills.
This study has two aims. The first aim is to design a serious mobile game on vaginal breech birth management for midwifery students. The second aim is to evaluate the effect of the serious mobile game-based teaching approach on learning.
A prospective, pretest-posttest, randomized controlled quasi-experimental method was used. The study was conducted with 79 third-year midwifery students (game group = 39, control group = 40) studying in a midwifery department between February-December 2022. After developing the Vaginal Breech Birth Management serious mobile game for midwifery students, students in the game group were educated with serious mobile game, while students in the control group were educated with the traditional teaching method. Questionnaire forms were used to collect data.
The Vaginal Breech Birth Management knowledge test day 0 score median of the students in the game group was significantly higher than those in the control group (p < 0,05). However, there was no statistical significance between the median scores of the 14th day of the Vaginal Breech Birth Management knowledge test and the seventh month between the play and control groups (p > 0,05), and it was determined that the scores of the participants in both groups decreased with time.
The serious mobile game developed increased students' short-term knowledge level of vaginal breech birth management but was not effective in the retention of long-term knowledge. It is recommended that the serious mobile game developed for teaching Vaginal Breech Birth Management should be integrated into the traditional teaching method and used as a reinforcement method.
医疗保健专业人员中安全管理臀位阴道分娩所需的技能正在下降，而助产专业学生由于其罕见性，实践机会有限。创新技术，如模拟和游戏化，有可能增强这些基本技能的掌握。
本研究有两个目的。第一个目的是为助产专业学生设计一款关于臀位阴道分娩管理的严肃手机游戏。第二个目的是评估基于严肃手机游戏的教学方法对学习的效果。
采用前瞻性、前测-后测、随机对照准实验方法。该研究于2022年2月至12月在一个助产系对79名三年级助产专业学生进行（游戏组 = 39人，对照组 = 40人）。在为助产专业学生开发了《臀位阴道分娩管理》严肃手机游戏后，游戏组的学生接受严肃手机游戏教育，而对照组的学生接受传统教学方法教育。使用问卷形式收集数据。
游戏组学生在第0天的臀位阴道分娩管理知识测试分数中位数显著高于对照组学生（p < 0.05）。然而，臀位阴道分娩管理知识测试第14天的中位数分数与游戏组和对照组在第七个月之间没有统计学意义（p > 0.05），并且确定两组参与者的分数都随时间下降。
开发的严肃手机游戏提高了学生对臀位阴道分娩管理的短期知识水平，但在长期知识保留方面无效。建议将为教学臀位阴道分娩管理而开发的严肃手机游戏纳入传统教学方法并用作强化方法。
