Validation of an affordable and accessible alternative simulation technology

描述（由申请人提供）：本项目的总体目标是验证在产科环境中进行严肃游戏模拟培训以达到教育目标的能力。产科提供者（医生和护士）将被随机分配到“经典”模拟实验室 （基于人体模型的）训练，或者严肃的游戏模拟训练。这两个系统都将被设计用于教授电子胎儿监护仪的解释和相关的决策，并且内容将在各个平台上匹配，以便准确地测量分娩方式的性能。将使用成熟的原位模拟来评估客观结果指标，这将最大限度地提高结果对现实世界临床表现的普遍性。我们与美国妇产科医师学院合作开展这项研究并传播我们的结果。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall aim of this project is to validate the ability of serious game simulation training in the obstetrical setting to reach educational objectives. Obstetrical providers (physicians and nurses) will be randomized to either 'classic' simulation lab (mannequin based) training, or serious game simulation training. Both systems will be designed to teach electronic fetal monitor interpretation and associated decision-making, and content will be matched across platforms in order to accurately measure the performance of the delivery modality. Objective outcome measures will be assessed using a well-established in situ simulation, which will maximize the generalizability of the results to real-world clinical performance. We have partnered with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists to develop this research and to disseminate our results.
