Breech Delivery Skills. Resident Learning Program

Overview

Breech delivery is one of the mail topic in emergency obstetrics for Italian Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Formal frontal lecture and digital learning represent nowadays the two typical learning methods. A bedside evaluation it's not feasible due to rarity of such emergency, due to the common senior physicians involvement when it occurs, and due to medico-legal risks. Mannequin scenario represents the best way of skill evaluation

Residents will be recruited for "breech delivery" in two different ways. One group (20) will attend a formal frontal lecture on breech delivery of at least one hour. A second group matched for sex distribution, age, residency year (20) will receive a digital lecture. After one month the two groups will test their abilities on a low fidelity mannequin. The simulation session will be recorded and evaluated by 5 specialists in a blind way. During the simulation the main topics of breech extraction are recorded. All residents will receive a questionnaire identifying the subject, previous experience bedside or in a course, and the agreement for video recording and data analysis. After the simulation test they will receive a second questionnaire indicating improvement levels (using a Kirkpatrick model and a 5-point Likert scale).
