Postpartum haemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal death. Healthcare simulations are an educational tool to prepare students for infrequent high-risk emergencies without risking patient safety. Efficiency of movement in the simulation environment is important to minimize the risk of medical error. The purpose of this study was to quantify the movement behaviours of the participants in the simulation and evaluate the relationship between perceived stress and movement.
