Evaluating Nursing and Midwifery Students’ Self-Assessment of Clinical Skills Following a Flipped Classroom Intervention with Innovative Digital Technologies in Bulgaria
Abstract
1. Introduction
- High initial investment in equipment and infrastructure;
- The need for faculty training and development;
- The risk of technology overload without meaningful pedagogical value.
2. Materials and Methods
2.1. Educational Design and Methodological Aspects
2.1.1. Flipped Classroom Includes
- 1.
- Educational video materials.
- ✓
- Intramuscular injection (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r20PlDVXsHo);
- ✓
- Intradermal injection (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FZfBHntg1Y);
- ✓
- Subcutaneous injection (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4QTSo9opdQ);
- ✓
- Intravenous injection (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF5GWEfxq0g);
- ✓
- Intravenous infusion (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAP2IVV1hOI).
- ✓
- The nature and importance of personal hygiene for patients (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnLNzBJAkxk); dry bathing and changing bed linen for immobile patients (Figure 2, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iv7Wg8oJAo); bathing, swaddling, and dressing a newborn (Figure 3 and Figure 4, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArA9BNZF0w0);
- ✓
- Evidence-based management of the third stage of labor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM222mgzyvM).
- 2.
- Educational VR applications include clinical scenarios for the safe practice of various medical skills. These simulations allowed students to visualize and repeatedly rehearse each procedural step in a safe, immersive environment, thus increasing their confidence and readiness for subsequent practical training with manikins. The following were used:
- SimX—VR scenarios for injection and intravenous procedures;
- OMS—VR simulations for venous and urinary catheter placement.
- 3.
- Video presentations: 15 video presentations on the topics studied, created by Ruse University lecturers, were available through the university’s electronic platform.
- 4.
- Test teaching materials: 10 descriptive algorithms for the sequence of actions in 10 types of manipulations and injection technologies were created by Ruse University lecturers and used by students.
- 5.
- Four formative quizzes for self-assessment were created and used.
- 6.
- Clinical case studies.
2.1.2. Traditional Training
- Traditional lectures—4 weeks of 6 lectures per week.
- Simulation session, which included hands-on procedural practice using anatomical models (manikins) and selected virtual case scenarios (2 weeks, 4 h per week). Low-to-medium-fidelity manikins were used, allowing for the safe practice of skills in a controlled environment.
- 3.
- Clinical practice (2 weeks of 4 h).
2.2. Respondents
2.3. Evaluation Procedure
- “Not competent” = 0;
- “Slightly competent” = 1;
- “Moderately competent” = 2;
- “Competent” = 3;
- “Very competent” = 4.
3. Results
3.1. Comparison of the Two Groups Before Training and After Training
3.2. Analysis of Results by Question Category
3.2.1. Injection Skills (Q1–Q7)
3.2.2. Technological and Digital Competencies (Q8)
3.2.3. Catheterization, Pain Assessment, and Pain Management (Q9–Q12)
3.2.4. Midwifery Skills (Q13–Q16)
3.2.5. Hygiene and Non-Invasive Care (Q17–Q19)
3.2.6. Digital Motivation and Attitudes (Q20–Q25)
- -
- More engaging hands-on practice using realistic simulators, especially for obstetric scenarios;
- -
- Better integration of theoretical content with clinical simulations;
- -
- Access to innovative technologies along with guidance before simulation sessions;
- -
- Small-group feedback sessions following each simulation to reflect on performance and reduce anxiety associated with handling practical tasks.
“What needs to be practiced in person simply cannot be effectively demonstrated or internalized online. For me, hands-on practice is essential.”
“I appreciated the opportunity to prepare in advance with online materials, videos, and presentations. Combined with classroom exercises and real hospital practice, it worked very well.”
“The preliminary preparation increased my interest and motivation to learn the procedures. I felt calmer and more confident when performing them later.”
“In my opinion, the best format for our training would be in-person practice sessions and online delivery for lectures.”
4. Discussion
4.1. Improvement in Clinical Skills and Self-Assessment
4.2. Findings Based on Pre-Intervention Assessments in the EG
- Highly rated skills: the highest frequency of “very competent” responses was seen for the aseptic technique, indicating a strong emphasis on safety during injection procedures. Skills such as aspiration before injection, venous injection, and venous infusion were also rated highly, likely reflecting frequent practice with anatomical models or real-life scenarios.
- Moderately rated skills: competencies such as intravenous injection, hygiene care (e.g., eye/nose/ear toilet), newborn bathing and dressing, intramuscular injection, dry bathing, and subcutaneous injection received moderate “very competent” ratings. This suggests satisfactory confidence, though possibly insufficient hands-on experience during simulation or clinical placements.
- Lowest rated skills: assisting childbirth, palpation of the pregnant uterus, pain intensity assessment, electronic reporting, and catheter insertion were among the least confidently rated. This indicates limited exposure to these procedures, lower confidence in performing more specialized or technology-integrated tasks, and possibly a lack of simulated or virtual scenarios or insufficient video-based learning materials.
4.3. Findings Based on Post-Intervention Assessments in the EG
- There was a notable increase in confidence across all competencies among students in the EG compared to the CG. This supports the effectiveness of the flipped classroom approach and confirms the relevance and methodological quality of the video-based materials used in the training modules.
- The greatest improvements in the EG relative to the CG were observed in aseptic technique, aspiration before injection, eye/nose/ear hygiene, and intramuscular injection. Skills that remained relatively lower even post-training, though still improved, included palpation of the pregnant uterus and assisting childbirth during the expulsion phase.
4.3.1. Development of Clinical Reasoning and Judgment
4.3.2. Communication and Teamwork
4.3.3. Motivation and Digital Readiness
4.3.4. Limited Confidence in Midwifery Skills
- Introduce specialized obstetric simulators, including those for simulating childbirth, postpartum care, and critical scenarios;
- Utilize video-based resources and VR scenarios to demonstrate obstetric procedures in a controlled learning environment;
- Organize clinical placements in real maternity wards, providing opportunities for active observation and assisted participation;
- Implement small-group training sessions with structured debriefing after each simulation, focusing on both technical skills and communication competencies.
