About this study

Official title: Impact of Computer Debriefing During Screen-based Simulation of Neonatal Resuscitation

Debriefing after simulation plays a crucial role in student learning and medical practice. This paper focuses on impact of computer debriefing technique on knowledge retention of midwives during screen-based simulation of neonatal resuscitation.

Read the detailed description

Simulation, including screen-based simulation, is employed in medicine to enhance competency and improve care. It has been practiced for centuries in its primitive form as uses of wax Venus or obstetrics dolls to teaching anatomical knowledge or know-how/gestures. Many benefits come from simulations as the capacity to practiced procedures without any risk to the patient, the possibility of trainees to commit errors and learn from these errors, the repeatability of scenario that can be different or presented to learners many times, and then the opportunity to improved technical and non-technical skills among learners. Specifically, screen-based simulation has many advantages as portability (easy to move), distribution and replicability (usable by many learners at differences places in the world), repeatability (people not faced frequently in their regular practice), even be remotely usable. Screen-based simulation appears in literature to be a complement of mannequin simulation. Indeed, since last years the development of computer science has made it possible to create new kind of simulators in the medical field for the acquisition of knowledge, know-how and technical gestures, more realistic and interactively rich.

Debriefing is considered as a part of simulation-based training and cannot be separated of simulators. Debriefing improve professional practice, clinical skills and competences. It exists different debriefing methods: post simulation debriefing, in-simulation debriefing, verbal instructor debriefing, video-assisted instructor debriefing, self-debriefing or also multimedia debriefing. However, debriefing is considered by many as a communication between student/learner and teacher, after a situation (e.g. simulation), and about this experience. It is not just a feedback on performance but also a communication process about the impact of the experience or performance explanation.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of a computer integrated debriefing of technical and non-technical skills on retention and performance of neonatal resuscitation management by trainee's midwives.

Thirty student in midwifery in fourth year will participate. The study protocol is the following:

Baseline knowledge questionnaire, randomization of the participants. Day one: Tutorial of the simulator, First scenario (+/- debriefing depending of the allocation group), second scenario (+/- debriefing depending of the allocation group).

Day two (two month later): knowledge questionnaire, tutorial of the simulator, one scenario (+/- debriefing depending of the allocation group).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Computer integrated debriefingOther

    At the end of each computer-based simulation, the participant had a computer integrated debriefing of his performance during the neonatal resuscitation simulation and a debriefing based on an auto-evaluation of his non-technical skills.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. knowledge retention

    Knowledge assesment based on a validated questionnaire created from International Liaison Committee On Resuscitation guidelines at T0 (before simulation), T1 (after the first simulation session) and T2 (after the second simulation session, two month later)

    Measured: two months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Non-technical skills assesment

    Evaluation of the Anesthetist Non technical skills score at T1 (first session) and T2 (second session, two month later)

    Measured: two months

  2. Technical skills assessment

    Evaluation of the Modified Neonatal Resuscitation Program Evaluation score at T1 (first session) and T2 (second session, two month later)

    Measured: two months

What does the primary outcome measure?

knowledge retention (time frame: two months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03844009, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
