Simulación en la adquisición de competencias clínicas para atención de emergencias obstétricas: Episiotomía, episiorrafia, desgarros perineales y su reparación, en estudiantes de medicina de la Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja, periodo septiembre 2013 - febrero 2014.

Abstract

The objective was to implement simulation workshops in order to attend obstetric emergencies: Episiotomy, perennial tears and their r reparation, through the virtual and inpresence teaching process to evaluate the memory trace about the clinic competence after two different periods of time. It was a descriptive, prospective, quantitative and transversal study which was conformed by 58 students of ninth semester of Medicine, in the integrated studies of Gineco-obstetric, who were distributed in two groups, one group to study by a virtual methodology and the other one to study in-presence. The didactic material was elaborated clearly and easy to handle. After the workshops were presented; an evaluation was taken about the clinic competence; at the end of the workshop and at the end of the semester using the Objective Structured Clinic Evaluation (OSCE). The result was that a 100% of the students acquired the clinic competence at the end of the workshop. However, the students showed a detriment of their memory trace when they were evaluated at the end of the semester, this situation was caused by external causes such as the short time to do the evaluation and the lack of preparation from the students to give it. As a conclusion, simulation workshops are an effective method for learning at a short period, but their effectiveness at a long period depends on the personal preparation and the conditions of Objective Structured Clinic Evaluation (OSCE), taking into account the forgetfulness curve.
