NCT02468427

Brief Summary

In a prospective, randomized Trial, the investigators compare Hands-on teaching and frontal teaching using a Training Video for learning how to perform an assisted delivery by vacuum extraction on a pelvic Training model. Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) scores are the primary outcome. The investigators hypothesize that Hands-on Training is superior to a video-teaching with regard to the OSATS scores achieved by the Trainees.

    24 predefined OSATS items

    5 min after the training

Study Arms (2)

hands-on Teaching

EXPERIMENTAL

Medical students receive a 30 minutes hands-on training session. All study probands perform assisted delivery (operative vaginal delivery) by vacuum extraction on a pelvic model immediately after the training.

Other: hands-on teaching

Frontal teaching

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Medical students receive a 30 minutes frontal teaching session using a training video demonstrating how to perform assisted delivery (operative vaginal delivery) by vacuum extraction on a pelvic model immediately after the training.

Other: Frontal teaching

Interventions

Training session of 30 minutes duration with every proband performing a vacuum extraction on a pelvic training model.

hands-on Teaching

Training session of 30 minutes duration consisting of a video which demonstrates how to perform a vacuum extraction on a pelvic training model.

Frontal teaching
