Abstract
Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is an obstetric emergency, and training of health-care providers for early diagnosis and intervention improves morbidity and mortality. Regular simulation-based training modules are conducted in our institute for health-care providers. The objective of this study was to assess the final-year medical students on their subjective improvement in the management of PPH after an off-site simulation-based training which was conducted after a conventional lecture. Methods: A survey was administered on medical students and their subjective retrospective analysis of both pre and post off-site simulation was collected. The survey was analyzed, and results were formulated. Results: Forty-six students completed the survey. Although students felt their confidence level in enumerating the steps in management of PPH less than 50% before the drill, it increased to 70% after the drill. The confidence of the students in carrying out the procedures of PPH also increased. The results showed a considerable subjective improvement in skill and cognitive enhancement after an off-site simulation-based training. There was a significant improvement in the pre and postsimulation training scores in the test. The faculty felt that there was an enhancement in learning after the simulation training. Conclusion: Off-site simulation of an emergency condition improves both knowledge and skill in students.
