Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Video-assisted learning and self-directed training

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) digital video disc (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).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Video-assisted learning and self-directed training

Intervention Type OTHER

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).

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).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Simulation-based neonatal resuscitation training

Intervention Type OTHER

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).
