Evaluating a digital peer-to-peer learning solution aiming to prepare midwifery students for clinical practice

Institute of Health and Care Sciences, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden
Eur J Midwifery 2026;10(Supplement 1):A121
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Peer-to-peer learning strengthens collaboration and knowledge exchange among students. In midwifery education, simulation-based learning offers a safe environment to practice real-life clinical scenarios. The digital platform SimCapture for midwifery education, supports both peer-to-peer learning and individual skills development through structured, scenario-based simulations.
OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate the implementation of SimCapture in Swedish midwifery education and assess its impact on the development of core clinical competencies.
METHODS:
SimCapture delivers 52 interactive training sessions aligned with the International Confederation of Midwives’ Essential Competencies for Midwifery Practice. Each session simulates midwifery practice scenarios, focusing on clinical decision-making and hands-on skills. Following the UK Medical Research Council's guidelines for process evaluation, this mixed-methods study collects qualitative data through focus groups and interviews with midwifery students (n=45) and clinical preceptors (n=15-20) from five clinical practice sites. Qualitative analysis will explore SimCapture’s usability, adaptability, and impact on competency development. Quantitative data from the platform's analytics track skill acquisition, engagement, and learning outcomes. Triangulation will integrate findings for a comprehensive assessment of usability, educational value, and sustainability. Ethical approval will be obtained from the Swedish Ethical Review Authority at the beginning of autumn 2025
RESULTS:
Preliminary results suggest that SimCapture is user-friendly, adaptable, and effective in supporting midwifery students’ competency development. The platform enhances clinical preparedness and facilitates targeted feedback through real-time progress tracking.
CONCLUSIONS:
SimCapture promotes active, competency-based learning through simulation and peer-to-peer learning. It prepares students for clinical practice and aligns with international standards, demonstrating strong potential for broader adoption in midwifery education.
KEY MESSAGE:
- Simulation-based learning strengthens clinical decision-making and peer-to-peer learning. - Real-time tracking supports educators in preparing students for clinical practice. - SimCapture for midwifery education is a scalable tool aligned with global midwifery competencies. Postpartum - perineal
