Person-centred care improved communication, empathy, and responsiveness, while simulation-based learning strengthened student confidence and clinical decision-making. The two approaches reinforced each other: simulation-based learning made person-centred care more practical, and person-centred care deepened the relevance of simulation-based learning. Key enablers included skilled faculty, safe learning environments, and adequate training resources. Cultural barriers to person-centred care decreased over time as improved outcomes in clinical settings were observed.
The synergistic effects of person-centred care and simulation-based learning enhance midwifery competencies and should be incorporated into global standards for midwifery education.
