Introduction

Learning media in midwifery is one of the tools or physical means used in the teaching and learning process to provide convenience. In midwifery education, students need to improve clinical skills and practice simulation before the practice curve directly to patients. This can reduce errors in providing midwifery care. So that in the development of education, learning media can improve clinical skills that are more practical and can be seen continuously. Learning media is expected to be used to overcome various problems in the teaching and learning process, especially on internal problems such as student and teacher attitudes, outlook on life, pleasure, and feelings, not happiness.1,2

Virtual reality is a virtual simulation usually characterized by its immersive nature, 3-dimensional characteristics, motion sensors, and devices haptic which applies the sensation of touch to human interaction with computers. This VR technology can present an artificial world and try things that are not accessible in real life and present them in the user's view. Virtual reality also offers an interactive environment that involves students and allows students to visualize it.3,4

Research conducted in Italy, VR is being developed for use as a medium for learning and stimulating blood vessel anatomy and physiology. Likewise, by using virtual patients, students can interactively practice honing skills such as effective communication, psychiatric interviews, and emergency simulations. Display interfaces that look real in a VR environment can help users focus on learning objectives rather than learning with a computer screen vulnerable to distraction with other learning resources, such as opening web pages or books.5

Discussion

Development of instructional media with virtual simulations Active Management, the third stage labor, provides the best teaching and learning systems solution today. This learning media contains information about proper and directed newborn care. MAK III is fast and precise, monitoring bleeding and early detection of danger signs at stage III. The VR learning media was created with the aim to improve active management care skills on stage III and danger signs on stage III.

Virtual reality is an innovative tool for solving complex problems to produce unique, realistic, and practical solutions for students.3,4 This study is in line with research conducted by Fealy et al. Said that learning media based on Virtual Reality has the potential to increase competence and confidence for students who provide learning opportunities that can be re-accessed, seen directly, and provide opportunities for educators to provide creative or easily understood learning designs or media.4,8

Research conducted found a positive correlation in the presence of students in class conceptual material learning with Virtual Reality learning media that will increase the willingness and inspiration for students to learn.9

This research is in line with the study of Williams, 2018 that by using Virtual Reality-based learning media, has gained recognition in terms of increasing risk-free knowledge and skills and minimizing direct practice errors made by students during the Neonatal Resuscitation learning process. There are many benefits in Virtual Reality learning media, especially in education that can be used as a multi-modal to teach neonatal resuscitation practicum.10

The expert validation test and large group trials in this study showed the calculation of the results of the learning media rating according to material experts (86%) are very feasible, according to media experts score (85%) is very feasible. The test results to students get a value (95, 3%) so that the VR-based learning media about active management of the third stage that has been made is very feasible to be used as a medium for learning midwifery students in childbirth care subjects especially in the learning of childbirth care in the third stage. This research is in line with Mahardika's research, 2016 Learning media using Virtual Reality have the potential as a viable learning media and can facilitate students in pre-clinical and clinical learning in the medical world.

This study is in line with the research of Massetti, 2018 who found that the use of VR media has a good effect on the development of learning and increases knowledge in the rehabilitation of neuron nerves, identification of cerebral palsy patients, spinal cord injuries, and post-stroke management.11 The responses given by students and teachers before and after the teaching and learning process using learning media give a positive impression to increase motivation and interest in learning.12

Virtual Reality application is very convenient to use in the teaching and learning process in clinical and health services. This application has enormous opportunities in medical and academic midwives. Virtual reality provides data presentation that combines the real world and the virtual world so that it makes it easier for students to see and recognize firsthand events that have never been seen before.13

Conclusion

This study concludes that the virtual reality-based learning media about active management of the third stage is designed according to the needs of lecturers and students. There are videos on newborn care, active management of the third stage, and bleeding monitoring that can be seen in 3D, and there are additional features of bleeding warning, anatomy, and placental physiology that can increase student interest in learning. This media is declared very feasible to be used as a medium for learning midwifery students in childbirth care courses, especially in active management learning at the third stage.
