Abstract
Introduction: To evaluate if the Intensive Course in Obstetric Emergencies (ICOE) Shoulder dystocia simulation training module could improve psychomotor and cognitive skills in the management of shoulder dystocia using a Test of Integrated Professional Skills (TIPS).
Materials and method: This was a prospective observational study involving Malaysian health care professionals participating in ICOE shoulder dystocia simulation, where standardized curriculum was used. Pre and post-test skills assessment were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the course content and delivery.
Results: 609 Malaysian health care professionals attended ICOE training; 400 midwives, 128 medical officers, 55 specialist and 26 consultants. Participants were derived from 25 consecutive courses, from 2014 to 2019 and tested on predetermined skills in the management of shoulder dystocia. Their mean TIPS pre-test vs post-test score were (2.55 vs 6.77) midwives, (3.78 vs 7.25) medical officers, (5.16 vs 7.82) specialists & (3.62 vs 6.88) consultants. All four group of participants showed statistically significant improvement (51-165%) in their skills (p<0.001). The mean post test score in noting time of dystocia and call for help were significantly higher among midwives than others. All four groups statistically improved their delivery skills in McRoberts manoeuvre and directed suprapubic pressure. Pre-skills for delivery of the posterior arm was suboptimal and post skills test showed statistically significant improvement in all four groups.
Conclusion: ICOE shoulder dystocia simulation training module improved the psychomotor and cognitive skills in the management of delivery of shoulder dystocia.
期刊介绍：
Published since 1890 this journal originated as the Journal of the Straits Medical Association. With the formation of the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA), the Journal became the official organ, supervised by an editorial board. Some of the early Hon. Editors were Mr. H.M. McGladdery (1960 - 1964), Dr. A.A. Sandosham (1965 - 1977), Prof. Paul C.Y. Chen (1977 - 1987). It is a scientific journal, published quarterly and can be found in medical libraries in many parts of the world. The Journal also enjoys the status of being listed in the Index Medicus, the internationally accepted reference index of medical journals. The editorial columns often reflect the Association''s views and attitudes towards medical problems in the country. The MJM aims to be a peer reviewed scientific journal of the highest quality. We want to ensure that whatever data is published is true and any opinion expressed important to medical science. We believe being Malaysian is our unique niche; our priority will be for scientific knowledge about diseases found in Malaysia and for the practice of medicine in Malaysia. The MJM will archive knowledge about the changing pattern of human diseases and our endeavours to overcome them. It will also document how medicine develops as a profession in the nation. We will communicate and co-operate with other scientific journals in Malaysia. We seek articles that are of educational value to doctors. We will consider all unsolicited articles submitted to the journal and will commission distinguished Malaysians to write relevant review articles. We want to help doctors make better decisions and be good at judging the value of scientific data. We want to help doctors write better, to be articulate and precise.
