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.

The infant mortality rate is also an important indicator to reflect the state of health status in a society, progress in the field of prevention and eradication of various diseases that cause death will be clearly reflected by the decline in the level of IMR. Thus the infant mortality rate is a sensitive measure of all intervention efforts made by the government, especially in the health sector. The purpose of this study was to find out and analyze what factors had the most influence on early neonatal deaths due to asphyxia in Timor Tengah Selatan Regency in 2021. The design of this study used a case-control research design with a retrospective study approach. The population in this study was divided into 2, namely the case population were all live births that experienced asphyxia and died in early Neonatal and the control population in this study were all live births who had asphyxia and did not die in the 2020 period in the work area of the Health Service. South Central Timor Regency (TTS). The sample size in this study was taken using a total sampling technique, where the entire population was used as the research sample, namely as many as 26 case samples, with a sample size comparison between cases and controls was 1:1, so the total sample size was 52 samples. The results showed that there was an effect of gestational interval (95% CI = 3.20-47.834 p-value = 0.000), history of premature (95% CI = 1.836-20.315 p-value = 0.003) and asphyxia (95% CI = 4.509- 74.539 p-value = 0.000) on Early Neonatal Death in Timor Tengah Selatan Regency (TTS).

ABSTRACT
Little is known about sexually minority women’s health and wellbeing in the developing countries like Tanzania. Hence, there is limited knowledge of these women’s health seeking behaviors and pathways they take to rectify their ill conditions. The study investigated on women who have sex with women’s health seeking behaviors and pathways they take to remedy ill conditions they face. Data presented in this paper are part of a cross-sectional descriptive and retrospective formative qualitative study among women who have sex with women conducted in Dar-es-Salaam region. Researchers used focus group discussion, in-depth interviewing, observation and collecting women’s life stories to generated data needed for this study. Women who have sex with women in Dar-es-Salaam come from all backgrounds and experience unique primary and specialized healthcare needs different from their counterparts. Social and legal strictures against homosexuality coupled with widespread heteronormativity put women who have sex with women at risk of overt or covert stigma and discrimination in the healthcare system. Illegal status of homosexuality in this country shapes differentiated health seeking behaviors and pathways among sexually minority women. Healthcare providers are reported discriminating and stigmatizing transgender men and tomboys forcing them to avoid vising public health facilities. I recommend the Ministry of health to initiate and support multidisciplinary, comprehensive and informative health research among women who have sex with women and use findings to facilitate improving women who have sex with women’s health and healthcare professionals’ ability to diagnose, treat, control, and prevent illnesses among this group.
