ABSTRACT
Simulation-based learning (SBL) is a pedagogical method of teaching and assessing clinical skills across all levels of midwifery education. The SBL is based on implementing scenarios. The stages of a clinical scenario include briefing, action and debriefing. Briefing includes information to guide trainees on the scenario and the objectives. The training of participants in the clinical scenarios begins under the supervision of the instructors which is referred to as action. After each scenario, a debriefing takes place to provide immediate feedback on participants and their performance. Finally, an assessment of the trainees’ attitudes, skills and knowledge, is provided. The skills developed during simulation training are knowledge of algorithms, learning clinical skills and handling emergency situations, developing ethical values and decision-making, self-confidence and competence, communication with the patient and the colleagues, teamwork and leadership, patient safety and finally the satisfaction of being part of a multidisciplinary team. It is highly recommended that simulation is incorporated into midwifery curricula because it combines theory with practice and the development of specialized clinical skills to handle complex situations and get ready for future midwifery care.

ABSTRACT
Breast cancer is a prevalent form of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women across the globe. Women can perform breast self-examination at home to detect any abnormalities in the breast early on, making it an affordable, easy, and effective screening technique. In this cohort study, we aimed to assess undergraduates' knowledge and practice of breast self-examination. Between February 2023 and May 2023, we used an online survey tool to collect information and structured the questions to meet our research objectives. Findings indicate that 40% of those recruited were knowledgeable about the procedure, while 60% had minimal or no knowledge. Age did not significantly impact knowledge and practice (p=0.7). Women, especially female students, must be more informed about breast cancer and encouraged to perform breast self-examination regularly. Raising awareness can be achieved through organizing workshops on breast cancer and early detection methods on university campuses, secondary schools, and even in public markets. Pamphlets may also be an effective method for promoting awareness.
