Team training in obstetric and neonatal emergencies using highly realistic simulation in Mexico: impact on process indicators.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ineffective management of obstetric emergencies contributes significantly to maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality in Mexico. PRONTO (Programa de Rescate Obstétrico y Neonatal: Tratamiento Óptimo y Oportuno) is a highly-realistic, low-tech simulation-based obstetric and neonatal emergency training program. A pair-matched hospital-based controlled implementation trial was undertaken in three states in Mexico, with pre/post measurement of process indicators at intervention hospitals. This report assesses the impact of PRONTO simulation training on process indicators from the pre/post study design for process indicators.

Methods

Data was collected in twelve intervention facilities on process indicators, including pre/post changes in knowledge and self-efficac
