Abstract
Role of clinical skill training in the formation of skills and professional competencies of midwifery
students is important. Hence, the use of “training new methods are essential in clinical settings.” This
study aimed at determining the effectiveness of simulation training in obstetric emergencies. In this
meta‑analysis study, international databases of Web of Science, Scopous, Proquest, and PubMed
and Iranian databases such as Irandoc, Magiran, and SID were searched for studies published
between 2000 and 2020 using related keywords. Based on the consortium checklist, the full text of the
selected articles was reviewed and in case of a specific score, the article was analyzed. The results
show that, out of 420 studies after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, only nine clinical
trial articles were reviewed. Studies were conducted in Iran, the United States, France, China, and
Chicago. The results of meta‑analysis showed that the simulation training method can be effective
in managing midwifery emergencies. Hence, the use of simulation training method can be effective
in various areas of learning related to obstetric emergencies.
