Summary

Care for pregnant is a field where unexpected emergencies occur, however emergencies are rare and hence competences difficult to learn. Therefore, it can be relevant to use simulation-based medical education. Many questions on how simulation can optimise learning remain unanswered. A major question is how simulation settings as 'in situ simulation' (i.e. in the actual patient care unit) versus 'off site simulation' (i.e. in training rooms or simulation center) impact learning.

Objectives: To study the effect of 'in situ simulation' versus 'off site simulation' on learning outcome, safety-attitudes, team performance and clinical performance in the simulated setting plus stress and motivational inducing effect of simulation settings.

Design: Randomised trial. Primary outcome: Written knowledge-test. Exploratory outcomes: Safety Attitudes Questionnaire, team- and clinical performance score, validated stress inventory, salivary cortisol, Intrinsic Motivation Inventory and questionnaire on perceptions of the simulation and organisational changes needed.

Perspective: To provide new knowledge on contextual effects of different simulation settings.
