Workshop on Blood Loss Quantification in Obstetrics: Improving Medical Student Learning through Clinical Simulation Ruíz Labarta, Javier Martínez Martín, Ana Pintado Recarte, María Del Pilar González Garzón, Blanca Pina Moreno, Juan Manuel Sánchez Rodríguez, Mercedes Vallejo Gea, África Sordo Delcastillo, Luis Álvarez-Mon, Melchor Ortega, Miguel A. Bravo Arribas, Coral León Luis, Juan Antonio Purpose: To assess whether a clinical simulation-based obstetric blood loss quantification workshop for medical undergraduate trainees improves theoretical-practical knowledge, along with self-assurance and self-confidence. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental pre-post learning study conducted at the Gynaecology and Obstetrics Unit of the Hospital Gregorio Marañón, Madrid, Spain. Participants were volunteer students in their fourth year of a 6-year degree course in Medicine. The study period was divided into the stages: pre-workshop, intra-workshop, 2 weeks post-workshop and 6 months post-workshop. In the pre-workshop stage, students completed a brief online course in preparation for the workshop. The effectiveness of the workshop was assessed through multiple choice tests and self-administered questionnaires. Data were compared between time-points using statistical tests for paired samples. Results: Of the 142 students invited (age 21.94 ± 3.12 years), 138 accepted the offer of the workshop (97.2%), and 85.4% had no experience in managing blood loss. Between the stages pre- and 2 weeks post-workshop, significant improvements were observed in theoretical-practical knowledge (μ = 1.109), self-assurance and self-confidence. At the 6 months post-workshop stage, theoretical-practical knowledge diminished compared with 2 weeks post-workshop, returning to pre-workshop levels, while self-assurance and confidence failed to vary significantly in the longer term. Conclusions: The obstetric workshop improved theoretical-practical knowledge and the self-assurance and confidence of the medical students. Results 2 weeks post-workshop were maintained up until 6 months after the training intervention. The clinical simulation-based workshop was perceived by the students as useful and necessary. 2025-01-21T11:24:15Z 2025-01-21T11:24:15Z 2022 journal article Ruiz-Labarta J, Martínez Martín A, Pintado Recarte P, González Garzón B, Pina Moreno JM, Sánchez Rodríguez M, et al.
