Experience	“At the beginning there is a little panic, but as we progress it's great” “essential” “excellent” “advantageous” “satisfied” “simulation, humanization of care, prioritization, confidentiality…” “I’m afraid I’ll forget what we studied” “the technique is easily picked up” “Everyone is aware of workload of midwives” “it remained etched in my memory”
Format	“if we extend it, we risk not meeting all the objectives, and if we do it faster, we risk not being able to control it well” “We all participated one by one. Everyone was able to play their assigned role” “the right to ask any question” “experience sharing” “the duration for me is insufficient”
Professional skills	“my working methods have improved especially the preparation and the golden minute” “Training is a kind of recycling of knowledge” “team collaboration has improved” “a friendly atmosphere was created between the patient and me” “I was not able to apply the management of postpartum hemorrhage learned, often the fetuses are already suffering and you have to act quickly”
New technological tools	“It is up to me to make the decision” “we need to assess our understanding of things and also to question freely” “it is a kind of formative evaluation and at the same time we are corrected” “the simulation is really great, but I would also like to do it on a real case” “successful videoconference” “effective method” “it is the simulation that i enjoyed, I loved it”
Needs	“upgrading” “there are still failures, it is human. We ask for more training” “I don’t have enough control” “we also need the peripheries, train them and work together” “we are asking for emergency kits, masks, sterilization equipment, decision tree…” “visual aids” “increase the number of simulation and less theory”
