A Statewide Mobile Simulation Program For Improving Obstetric Skills in Rural Hospitals
Authors' conclusion
These results demonstrate improved skills of hospital staff in simulated PPH in Level-1 OB units and simulated OB emergencies in EDs that no longer have OB units.
Study context
- Population
- Rural hospital providers in Level-1 obstetric (OB) units and in emergency departments (EDs) without OB units
- Comparison
- Level-1 OB units vs EDs
- Outcome
- Post-training self-reported assessments
Methodological detailsdescriptive study, statewide, mobile simulation, train-the-trainer, in situ simulation, post-intervention surveys
- Descriptive study
- Statewide
- Mobile simulation
- Train-the-trainer

- Post-intervention surveys
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Train-the-trainer workshop participants agreeing workshop goals and objectives were achieved
- 98%
- Task trainer workshop participants agreeing knowledge of using the simulator improved
- 95%
- Train-the-trainer cohort finding ability to implement simulations improved (after in situ simulations, Level-1 OB units)
- 98.8%
- Increase in ability to manage PPH identified by Level-1 hospital staff
- 30%
- ED staff reporting moderate improvement in basic OB knowledge (postdidactic)
- 95.4%
- ED staff reporting better skills as ED team member caring for pregnant patients (after simulations)
- >95%
