Objective: To evaluate the interest of the simulation in the
learning of the obstetric examination of parturient by medical students. Materialsandmethods: It was
an analytical cross-sectional study that took place from 1 to 28 February 2020
at the Yalgado Ouedraogo Teaching Hospital in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. The
study population was made up of medical students at the Doctorate II level. The
previous experience of the students in the obstetric examination of the
parturient, the contribution of the simulation on their feelings and on their
skills towards this examination were studied. The Mc Nemar Chi2 test
was used to compare percentages on paired samples. Results: The level of difficulty in performing the
obstetrical examination in the parturient evolved downwards after the practice
of the simulation. The stress level to perform the obstetric exam has been
significantly reduced. On the other hand, confidence has increased. The
students’ ability to appreciate each of the elements of the obstetric
examination studied had improved after the practice of simulation. Conclusion: The simulation in the skills laboratory was a great
contribution
