Brief summary: The researchers gave midwifery students theoretical training on how to take heel blood on a newborn model. Students were asked to take heel blood on the model in the high-reality simulation environment and simulation room. The student's ability to take heel blood before and after taking heel blood in a high-reality simulation environment or on a newborn model in a simulation environment, satisfaction with learning, anxiety and self-efficacy levels were compared.

Detailed description: The population of the research consisted of 4th grade midwifery students studying in the fall semester of the 2022-2023 academic year (N = 98). 6 students could not continue studying. No sample selection was made and an attempt was made to reach the entire universe. The sample of the research consisted of a total of 92 midwifery students, n=46 in the control group and n=46 in the experimental group. Verbal and written permission was obtained from the students included in the research. Both the experimental and control groups were given theoretical training on heel blood collection on a model using the show-and-tell technique.Then, those in the experimental group were asked to take heel blood on a newborn model in a high-reality simulation environment. The control group was asked to take heel blood on a newborn model in the simulation laboratory. Self-Efficacy-Efficacy scale for both the experimental group and the control group. State and Trait Anxiety Scale was applied as pre-test and post-test. Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale was applied only as a posttest. The heel prick skill evaluation form was filled out by a researcher. Pre-test and post-test results, Student tudent Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning scores , and Heel Blood Skill scores were compared between the experimental and control groups.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* 4th grade students (n=49) who took the Maternal and Child Health Practice course of the Midwifery Department and agreed to participate in the study voluntarily were included in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Students in younger grades who did not take the Maternal and Child Health Practice course were excluded.
