ABSTRACT
Background: education in the health field is constantly improving as a result of technological advances. Simulators represent a very useful tool, especially in the Obstetrics career, since they allow the acquisition of skills on childbirth care in a safe environment.Objective: to describe the use of simulators in Obstetrics students at the Alas Peruanas university in Metropolitan Lima, Peru.
Methods: non-experimental, descriptive, cross-sectional design study, from June to July 2020, based on the theoretical methods of analysis-synthesis and induction-deduction and as an empirical method, a 20-item questionnaire was applied by the authors.
Results: 76.2 % (n=61) of the Obstetrics interns have used the simulator at least once during their academic training; the most used were those corresponding to delivery care (85.2%) and Leopold's maneuvers (77.1 %), while the least used were attachment (49.2 %) and Kardex (52.5 %). 60 % of students considered that the use of simulators improved their abilities in the degree.
Conclusions: there is an unequal use of simulators among Obstetrics students, although their usefulness is positively assessed.
