Brief Summary

Training is very important for acquisition and maintenance of obstetric skills. As a one-to-one practical teaching needs time and personal resources, the investigators want to prove the benefit and necessity of the one-to-one training program compared to a theory-based training program in conducting vacuum assisted deliveries (VAD). The aim of this study is to prove that a practice-based training program (one-to- one teaching) leads to better training results compared to a theory-based training program in conducting VAD.

Conditions

Training VAD

Keywords

Vacuum assisted delivery; technical skills; training

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• technical skills in conducting VAD

  General and procedure-specific skills will be assessed using a validated rating tool.

  one day (day 0)

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Retention of skills conducting VAD

  4-8 weeks after day 0

• trainees' satisfaction

  4-8 weeks after day 0

Model Details: video-recorded vacuum procedure on a special VAD-training phantom in a randomized setting: (1) theory-based training programme (2) practice-based training programme (one-to-one teaching). Video-recorded vacuum procedure on the VAD- training phantom before randomization, directly after training programme, 4-8 weeks after training programme in order to determine retention of skills.
