Summary

Simulation-based training has been widely implemented in medical education. According to educational theories, simulation-based medical education (SBME) is associated with significant advantages, which has been investigated and proved by many studies. However, the value of SBME in comparison to other instructional methodologies remains largely unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study is to directly compare two instructional methods for neonatal resuscitation training.

Conditions

  • Resuscitation
  • Neonatology

Interventions

OTHER

Video-assisted learning and self-directed training

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) DVD will be provided for video study and a low-fidelity newborn manikin for self-directed resuscitation training (90 minutes training time, six students per group).

OTHER

Simulation-based neonatal resuscitation training

Students will learn initial assessment of newborns and basic resuscitation skills and actively apply these skills during simulated clinical scenarios both with a low- and high-fidelity manikin (90 minutes training time, six students per group).
