Abstract：Objective To explore the effect of the childbirth virtual simulation training program based on the ARCS motivation model in the standardized clinical training for obstetric nurses with higher vocational education.Methods Sixty-four obstetric nurses to undergo standardized clinical training at Hebi people's hospital in Henan province were selected as the study subjects.Thirty-two nurses trained in the first 3 month of 2023 were chosen into the control group,while the rest 32 taught in the following 3 months were selected into the observation group.The control group was trained in the traditional method,while the observation group was provided with virtual simulation training based on the ARCS motivation model.After training,the theoretical and practical assessment scores of both groups were compared,along with their training satisfaction.Results The observation group achieved significantly better scores in theoretical and practical skill assessments than those of the control group(t=-4.139,P＜0.001;t=-6.594,P＜0.001),with significantly higher satisfaction than the latter(t=-18.810,P＜0.001).Conclusion The virtual simulation training based on the ARCS model can enhance trainees' mastery of theoretical knowledge and practical skills,thereby improving their training satisfaction.
