Simulación en la adquisición de competencias clínicas para la Monitorización Electrónica Fetal Intraparto en estudiantes de medicina de noveno ciclo de la UTPL, periodo Septiembre 2013-Febrero 2014

Abstract

In this research, a descriptive and prospective focused work was done. The sample included medicine students in 9th cycle matriculated between September 2013 and February 2014. The students’ objective was to introduce simulation workshops in childbirth control and attention concerning normal childbirths by the face-to-face or virtual teaching in order to assess the memory traces of clinical competences at the end both of the workshop and the cycle. The result was the design and ulterior implementation of a simulation workshop for Fetal Intra-Birth Electronic Monitoring (MEFI), its acronym by the initial letters in Spanish) teaching applied to 29 students both in face-to-face and 29 in virtual modality. Finally, as a conclusion, it is clearly possible to design and implement successfully a simulation Fetal Intra-Birth Electronic Monitoring (MEFI) workshop, since it significantly improves the clinical competences acquisition in obstetrics; in addition, the structured objectified clinical evaluation (ECOE, this acronym in Spanish) is the tool allowing to objectify these findings and determining that is the Distance Modality which allowed the students to acquire the clinical competence and keep the memory records with better results than in the presence modality
