NCT01812304

Brief Summary

This trial aims to assess the hypothesis that hands-on training of vaginal breech delivery on a pelvic model is significantly better in terms of a technical skills scoring system compared to frontal teaching.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • OSATS Score

    OSATS Scores are assessed on a pelvic model by a blinded assessor immediately after training (1 arm hands-on, 1 arm forntal teaching)

    probands are tested after training within an hour

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • OSATS Scores

    72 Hours after training

Other Outcomes (1)

  • confidence, speed, self assessment

    immediately after training and 72 hours later

Study Arms (2)

hands-on training

EXPERIMENTAL

probands perform predefined maneuvers to manage a vaginal breech hands-on after one instruction

Other: hands-on training

frontal teaching

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Probands perform predefined maneuvers to resolve a vaginal breech after forntal teaching

Other: frontal teaching

Interventions

the intervention consists of a predefined hands-on training program including 25 technical steps to manage a vaginal breech

hands-on training

one teacher demonstrates all 25 items listed in the OSATS checklist. Probands listen and watch.

frontal teaching
