Brief Summary

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

Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) implementation is associated with reduction in neonatal deaths and reduction in fresh stillbirths. HBB has successfully integrated some aspects of simulation into an educational curriculum that teach the management of neonatal emergencies in resource-constrained countries.

Simulation based training brings special advantages and may enhance HBB training. Critical elements of simulation such as enhanced realism and post-event debriefing may carry potential to strengthen HBB training to attain maximum impact. However, evidence for the effectiveness of this combined approach is limited.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) implementation is associated with reduction in neonatal deaths and reduction in fresh stillbirths. HBB has successfully integrated some aspects of simulation into an educational curriculum that teach the management of neonatal emergencies in resource-constrained countries.

High levels of physical, emotional and conceptual realism are important features of simulation-based learning that impact learning outcomes. Formal debriefing is characterized as the most important element of simulation based education. Structured feedback in a safe learning environment provides the opportunity for learning of clinically relevant material. Guided reflection transfers the responsibility for learning to the participants and solidifies knowledge, skills and behaviors for transfer to clinical practice.

Simulation based training brings special advantages and may enhance HBB training. Critical elements of simulation such as enhanced realism and post-event debriefing may carry potential to strengthen HBB training to attain maximum impact. However, evidence for the effectiveness of this combined approach is limited.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Investigators will conduct a prospective, randomized controlled trial to determine if the implementation of a simulation facilitator training program for HBB compared with no facilitator training in simulation is superior in terms of the acquisition of knowledge, acute care skills, and teamwork skills of pre-service medical students. Investigators will randomly randomly assign study participants to either intervention or control arm in a 1:1 ratio.

Primary Study Purpose

OTHER

Blinding Strategy

NONE

No masking will be done
