ABSTRACT
The learning process for medical students in obstetrics, specifically in Malaysia's universities are divided into two parts, the first is theoretical learning where students will have to follow lectures as usual, and the latter is clinical training where students will undergo training with real patients in hospital.
Based on the report “Maternal Mortality: Levels and trends 2000 to 2017” by World Health Organization (WHO), the statistical trend of mortality rate in Malaysia caused by the complications during childbirth is increasing drastically. The deaths are also caused by diagnosis failure and less experienced medical officers mainly in obstetrics and gynecology. As a means of improving the healthcare system, an augmented reality learning mobile application called AR Childbirth focusing on obstetrics and gynecology is applied at a university level. The implementation of AR Childbirth is done through analyzing the functional requirement of the application from the perspective of medical students as a guidance on developing the mobile application.
As a result, the application testing was conducted among 30 medical students and measured based on six factors which are usability, ease of use, ease of learning, user satisfaction and app effectiveness. It was confirmed that the usage of augmented reality in learning has improved the interactivity and effectiveness of learning, specifically in obstetrics and gynecology discipline.
