Summary

Abstract Background and Goal of study Teaching and learning in airway management are essential in anesthetic field. Though simulation-based and problem-based learning are sophisticated learning tool, neither of them manifests the superior benefit. We would like to compare the teachers' and students' attitudes on these two learning methods.

Material and Methods After IRB approval No. 369/2558(EC3). A prospective, questionnaires-based study was performed amongst volunteered, consent-signed, 10 anesthesiologists and 40 nurse anesthetist students. After stratified randomization, ten students simultaneously attended either SBL or PBL course one at a time. Six weeks later, a crossover technique was applied for both groups. At the end of project, teachers and students had to response to Likert's scale questionnaires.

The teachers' questionnaire based on table of specification of the learning contents, consisted of 4 parts: airway evaluation, patient preparation, strategic planning and follow up care. The students' questionnaire comprised 3 parts: learning content, process and evaluation.

The validation of the questionnaire was determined by three board-certified anesthesiologists. The index of item objective congruence was 0.80 and 0.82 with Cronbach's Alpha of 0.97 and 0.92 respectively.
