Background: The skills required to safely manage vaginal breech birth are declining among healthcare professionals, while midwifery students have limited practice opportunities due to its rarity. Innovative techniques, such as simulation and gamification, have the potential to enhance the acquisition of these essential skills.
Aim: This study has two aims. The first aim is to design a serious mobile game on vaginal breech birth management for midwifery students. The second aim is to evaluate the effect of the serious mobile game-based teaching approach on learning.
Methods: A prospective, pretest-posttest, randomized controlled quasi-experimental method was used. The study was conducted with 79 third-year midwifery students (game group = 39, control group = 40) studying in a midwifery department between February-December 2022. After developing the Vaginal Breech Birth Management serious mobile game for midwifery students, students in the game group were educated with serious mobile game, while students in the control group were educated with the traditional teaching method. Questionnaire forms were used to collect data.
Results: The Vaginal Breech Birth Management knowledge test day 0 score median of the students in the game group was significantly higher than those in the control group (p < 0,05). However, there was no statistical significance between the median scores of the 14th day of the Vaginal Breech Birth Management knowledge test and the seventh month between the play and control groups (p > 0,05), and it was determined that the scores of the participants in both groups decreased with time.
Conclusion: The serious mobile game developed increased students' short-term knowledge level of vaginal breech birth management but was not effective in the retention of long-term knowledge. It is recommended that the serious mobile game developed for teaching Vaginal Breech Birth Management should be integrated into the traditional teaching method and used as a reinforcement method.

A 40-year-old woman who had obstetric history of one vaginal delivery and two surgical abortions to terminate early pregnancy received regular prenatal care without any systemic maternal diseases. During the detailed second trimester ultrasound, a homogenous adhesion-induced pseudocystic lesion of 8.6 × 7.

Cesarean delivery is considered safe as compared to vaginal for the breech presentation. However, this case reports a case of femur fracture of a newborn that occurred during an emergency cesarean section performed for breech presentation.

This woman transferred to our hospital from an attempted home birth and was highly motivated to achieve a vaginal birth. The staff were recently trained on the provision of physiologic breech birth support, and after receiving informed consent, they facilitated a successful VBB.

Article Synopsis
- Management options for breech presentation include vaginal delivery, cesarean delivery, and external cephalic version, which require detailed discussions about risks and recovery.
- A decision aid tool for clinicians was created through literature review and expert input, followed by evaluation with obstetricians.
- This tool received unanimous agreement from participants, demonstrating strong consensus and effectiveness in aiding shared decision-making for pregnant women with breech presentations.
