Knowledge and confidence levels improvement among obstetrics residents regarding caesarean section training using video-mannequins combination.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cesarean section rates are increasing worldwide. Obstetrics and gynecology residents are required to be experts in this surgery to provide safe procedures. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic situation, an alternative teaching strategy is needed to achieve adequate cesarean section skills. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of video, mannequins, and the combination of video mannequins on residents' knowledge and confidence regarding cesarean section.

Method

A quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test designs was done. Based on stratified random sampling, 33 obstetrics and gynecology residents involved as study participant. Three groups were formed and received different interventions, learning using videos, mannequins, and a combination of video-mannequins. Two kinds of questionnaires were used to examine residents' knowledge and their confidence levels. The collected data were analyzed statistically.

Results

Video (0.42(CI95%-0.11-0.9)), mannequin simulation (0.60(CI95%-0.04-1.25)), and the combination of video-mannequin (1.3(CI95%0.73-1.93)) significantly increased resident's knowledge regarding caesarean section skill. Study participant showed increased scores regarding confidence in their caesarean section skills according to all learning subjects (p < 0.05) but a difference in confidence level occurred in level C- 7th semester residents (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

The combination of videos and mannequin simulations is the best method for increasing knowledge of cesarean sections, compared to single video and mannequin simulations. The confidence level has been shown to increase in all subject studies but the effectiveness at each level of resident needs to be investigated further.

Project description:BackgroundDuring the last decades, the rate of caesarean section is increasing and this can increase the mortality and morbidity. Up to one third of the caesarean sections are attributed to the elective repeat caesarean section (ERCS). This study aims to evaluate attitudes and factors affecting the choice of pregnant women with one previous caesarean section regarding their mode of delivery in their second pregnancy. By assessing these attitudes, this study can help the efforts in developing strategies to increase the rates of vaginal delivery.Material and methodsA cross-sectional design was conducted by a structured questionnaire on 166 pregnant women who had delivered once by caesarean section for their first pregnancy and were in the third trimester of their second pregnancy. Any women with an absolute indication for caesarean section was excluded. The study comprises women who attend the clinic at our center in Northern of Jordan. Proper statistical tests were performed to assess the association between the choice of delivery and selected demographic and clinical factors.ResultsAbout 55.4% responded that they would choose ERCS (n = 92) and the remaining participants chose trial of labour after caesarean section (TOLAC) (n = 74). Fear of pain was the most common reason for choosing caesarean section, accounting for 55.4%. Interestingly, our study did not show a significant association between the mode of delivery and demographic factors, such as age, educational level and occupation. The single independent significant factor influencing patients' choice that our study revealed was "being informed about the complications of TOLAC". The choice of TOLAC was almost four times higher for those participants who had been informed about the complications, compared to those who had not been informed.ConclusionProper counselling is a main factor that affected the patients' choice toward the mode of delivery. Proper pain management may encourage patients to choose TOLAC because fear of pain was a main reason that patients requested ERCS instead of TOLAC.
