Augmented reality enhances competency-based training in simulated vaginal birth: A multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Key Points

• To evaluate the effectiveness of augmented reality in enhancing competency-based training for simulated vaginal birth.
• Conducted a multicenter randomized controlled trial
• Implemented AR-based training prior to simulation
• Compared performance outcomes with traditional training methods
• Participants using AR showed improved performance in simulated vaginal birth
• Competency attainment was higher in the AR group compared to control
• AR training was deemed cost-effective and scalable
