Mono-Professional Simulation-Based Obstetric Training in a Low-Resource Setting: Stepped-Wedge Cluster Randomized Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Emergency obstetric simulation-based training has increasingly been used to improve emergency obstetric care provision in sub-Saharan Africa. For determining the optimal methodology for effective training sessions in resource-constrained settings, it is crucial to conduct high-quality research.

Objective

We aim to investigate the impact of a train-the-trainer model for providing technology-enhanced, mono-professional, simulation-based training in obstetrics in a resource-constrained setting on maternal and perinatal outcomes.

Methods

A stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial was conducted from October 2014 until March 2016 at the medium- to high-risk ward at Mulago National Referral Hospital, Uganda, with an annual delivery rate of over 23,000. The intervent
