Purpose: Clinical training for nursing students is limited to obstetrical nursing to avoid potential risks. This study was conducted to examine the effects of a simulation-based learning for obstetrical nursing. The study examines knowledge of obstetrical nursing, performance ability and self-confidence between experimental group (nursing student who participated in the simulation-based learning discussing case studies and comparing to their own experience) and control group. Methods: The study was designed using a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. Twenty nursing students were assigned to experimental group and participated in the simulation-based learning. The data were analyzed using the SPSS 18.0 program to perform χ2-test and t-test. Results: The experimental group showed significantly higher posttest scores in knowledge, performance ability and self-confidence than those of control group. Conclusion: The study results indicate that a simulation-based learning was effective in increasing knowledge, performance ability and self-confidence for nursing students.
