About this study

Official title: An Analysis of the Efficacy of Different Teaching Modalities in Imparting Adult CPR Skills in First Year Medical Students

Didactic lectures are the currently used mode of imparting training to medical students. Use of other modes of teaching like simulation is still in its infancy. Simulation, as a teaching tool may aid in longer retention of the learning contents and also provides a safe environment for the students to practice their skills after knowledge acquisition. The aim of the study is to analyze the efficacy of different teaching modalities in imparting a particular skill, namely adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) which is a life saving skill in first year medical students. The study population includes all the first year MBBS students and the duration of the study is 1 month. A clarity as to which mode of teaching will be ideal for memory retention is the expected outcome of this study.

Read the detailed description

Introduction

Our current medical curriculum devotes a large percentage of its time to knowledge acquisition by means of didactic lectures. Psychomotor skill acquisition takes a back seat. Certain lifesaving skills like basic life support skill training have not even made an appearance in the current curriculum. Equal time distribution to cognitive and psychomotor skills should be allotted for a subject as practical as MBBS .Simulation can prove to be a valuable tool in imparting skill training. The present study aims to evaluate the efficacy of different teaching modalities in imparting lifesaving skills in first year MBBS students.

Methods

This Cross sectional study is conducted among 33 first year students who consented to participate. Institutional ethics clearance was also obtained. The students were divided into three groups, each undergoing didactic lecture, animation based videos and simulation studies. Pretest, posttest and skills test was administered to them. One way anova, Paired t test were some of the statistical test employed using SPSS version 21.

What is being measured

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

  1. comparing the mean post test score of groups of students that underwent training using different teaching modalities assessed using a ten part multiple choice questionnaire.

    Amongst visual, didactic and simulation models of teaching, to identify the more effective strategy to impart Basic Life Support (BLS) knowledge to first year medical students through a four hour training programme, by comparing the mean post test scores of each group

    Measured: 4 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. comparing the change in the baseline test score amongst first year medical students taught by visual, didactic and simulation models.

    students through a four hour training programme, by comparing the mean pre test and post test scores of each group

    Measured: 4 hours

  2. comparing the mean score of groups of students that underwent training using different teaching modalities, assessed by an examiner testing their skills using a pre set basic life support checklist proforma.

    comparing the effectiveness of each teaching modality amongst first year medical students to impart Adult Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) skills assessed by an examiner observing and testing their skills using a pre set checklist proforma.

    Measured: 4 hours

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in India. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

comparing the mean post test score of groups of students that underwent training using different teaching modalities assessed using a ten part multiple choice questionnaire. (time frame: 4 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Jun 2019.
