Episiotomy is a surgical procedure performed during childbirth, and incorrect application may lead to serious psychological and physiological consequences. While traditional training methods often use animal tissues or synthetic materials, recent advances in technology have introduced simulation-based learning. VR technology has shown potential to enhance learning outcomes, confidence, and satisfaction among healthcare students. Despite its growing use in medical education, there is currently no VR training model specifically designed for teaching episiotomy skills. This study will design a VR episiotomy simulation, assess its effectiveness in skill acquisition and learning, and propose it as a new educational method in midwifery training.",[89],"Use of Virtual Reality Simulation in Midwifery Training",[91],"Midwifery Virtual Reality Simulation Episiotomy Learning Process","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-11-14",{"date":95,"type":96},"2025-11-19","ACTUAL",{"date":98,"type":83},"2025-12-21",{"date":100,"type":83},"2026-04",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
