Background Nursing education should be adjusted to align with national health priorities. In this study, we examined how simulation-based education impacted nursing students' knowledge, skills, and approaches to natural childbirth, as well as their self-confidence, perceptions of positive birth, and educational satisfaction. Methods A total of 56 undergraduate nursing students were enrolled in this comparative, quasi-experimental, pre- and post-test designed study and were randomly assigned to a hybrid simulation (HS) or a video-model (VM) group. Results Students in the HS group had significantly higher natural childbirth skill levels and positive perceptions than those in the VM group ( p < .05). Natural birth knowledge levels significantly increased in both groups ( p < .05). No significant differences in nursing students' self-confidence and satisfaction levels were found between the two groups ( p > .05). Conclusion HS improved nursing students' natural birth approach skills and positively affected their perceptions. Simulation-based education may enhance maternity care practice. Simulation scenarios should be integrated into the nursing curriculum to provide comprehensive support for positive birth experiences. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT06241443
