Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main questions the study seeks to answer are:
Does mixed reality training reduce students' cognitive load?
Does mixed reality increase the students' sense of presence?
How does mixed reality-based training influence students' professional perception of midwifery?
Do students who receive mixed reality training perform better in assessing cervical effacement and dilation on real pregnant women compared with the control group?

How the research will be conducted:
Researchers will compare a mixed reality intervention group with a control group receiving traditional training. Students in both groups will evaluate five different pregnant women to assess cervical effacement and dilation in real clinical settings.
Participants will:
Receive either mixed reality-based training (intervention) or traditional instruction (control)
Complete the Cognitive Load Scale, Sense of Presence Scale, and Midwifery Professional Perception Scale
Perform cervical effacement and dilation assessments on five pregnant women during clinical practice

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Mixed Reality Training Group
Students will participate in a mixed reality (MR)-based training program.
mixed reality education
Students will participate in a mixed reality (MR)-based training program.
The program is designed to teach cervical effacement and dilation assessment.
During the training, students will interact with three-dimensional virtual cervical models.
They will be able to practice repeatedly in a safe, error-free environment to enhance their clinical skills.
After completing MR training, students will perform vaginal examinations on 10 virtual patient scenarios.
The accuracy of each assessment will be automatically evaluated by the system.
Following MR training, students will conduct vaginal examinations on five pregnant women under researcher supervision in a real clinical setting.
The following scales will be administered to participants:
Cognitive Load Scale
Sense of Presence Scale
Midwifery Professional Perception Scale
These measures will be used to determine the cognitive and professional effects of MR-based learning.
Standard Education Group
Students in the control group will receive traditional theoretical instruction.
Standard Education Group
Students in the control group will receive traditional theoretical instruction.
The training content will cover the principles of cervical effacement and dilation assessment.
After completing the theoretical training, students will complete the Cognitive Load Scale and the Midwifery Professional Perception Scale.
Under researcher supervision, students will perform vaginal examinations on five pregnant women to assess cervical effacement and dilation.
These evaluations will be used to examine the effects of traditional training on students' cognitive load, professional perception, and practical assessment skills.
