Description

This is the design sequence the article's intervention followed under the HSSOBP: a needs assessment aligned to training goals and clinical requirements, construction of objectives integrating needs assessment with learners' competence levels, scenario development from real clinical cases, and standardized pre-briefing. Objectives were designed to be "Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART)", ensuring they guided the simulation activities and aligned with the program's broader educational goals. Scenarios replicated authentic clinical workflows while targeting essential professional knowledge and clinical skills.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • A multidisciplinary teaching team (the article used one obstetrician, one midwifery expert, and two simulation instructors with at least ten years of experience and a master's degree or higher), preliminary trial runs to ascertain task feasibility, and a high-fidelity environment replicating an authentic delivery room setting

Constraints

  • The article links the intervention's failure to improve self-confidence to this brief 12-class-hour duration and to the unchanged Support dimension of the design

Target Learners

  • third-year undergraduate midwifery students

Learning Goals

  • obstetric emergency management skills
  • integration of theory and clinical practice
