OBJECTIVE: The objectives were to determine (1) if simulation training results in short-term and long-term improvement in the management of uncommon but critical obstetrical events and (2) to determine if there was additional benefit from annual exposure to the workshop. METHODS: Physicians completed a pretest to measure knowledge and confidence in the management of eclampsia, shoulder dystocia, postpartum hemorrhage and vacuum-assisted vaginal delivery. They then attended a simulation workshop and immediately completed a posttest. Residents completed the same posttests four and twelve months later, and attending physicians completed the posttest at twelve months. Physicians participated in the same simulation workshop one year later and then completed a final posttest. Scores were compared using paired t-tests. RESULTS: Physicians demonstrated improved knowledge and comfort immediately following simulation. Residents maintained this improvement at one year. Attending physicians remained more comfortable managing these scenarios up to 1 year later; however, knowledge retention diminished with time. Repeating the simulation after one year brought additional improvement to physicians. CONCLUSION: Simulation training can result in short-term and contribute to long-term improvement in objective measures of knowledge and comfort level in managing uncommon but critical obstetrical events. Repeat exposure to simulation training after one year can yield additional benefits. |
