Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to compare two forms of pre-training (an online narrative presentation and a serious game) to prepare 2nd year medical students for a hands-on training with physical simulators about out-of-hospital cardiac arrest management.


Description:

Technology-enhanced simulation allows mastery learning. Mastery learning is a variety of competency-based education which has demonstrated its efficacy for skills acquisition and their transfer to actual settings. While traditional education defines fixed learning time and allows outcomes to vary, in mastery learning, all trainees must achieve a predefined level of proficiency while their learning time can vary. The main limitation of mastery learning is that it takes more time than non-mastery learning. This is of concern because the main barrier to simulation-based training is the lack of faculty time. Thus, new solutions should emerge to conciliate mastery learning and time constraints on physical simulators.

Pre-training with a "simulation game" may be a mean to reach this objective. Simulation games are serious games which are at the cross roads between (1) educational games which are "applications using the characteristics of video and computer games to create engaging and immersive learning experiences", and (2) simulation, the imitation of situations which can be encountered in real-life. They combine the advantages of educational games (active, personalized learning) and simulation (realistic and safe environment for experiential learning). By contrast, pre-training with an online course using a PowerPoint presentation with voiceover narration lecture is both passive and abstract.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the time-efficiency of pre-training using a simulation game versus an online course to reach mastery learning in the management of an adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Median Training Time Needed to Reach the Minimal Passing Score for a Simulated Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest Scenario Using a High-fidelity Simulator at Day 8. Following the 2015 European Resuscitation Council guidelines, a checklist was developed for this study. This checklist allows the assessors to evaluate the participant's compliance with guidelines, and to determine if he/she needs to practice again on the scenario or if he/she reached the minimum passing score and can stop the training.
The quality of the chest compressions provided is recorded automatically through the ResusciAnne Skill Reporter Software (Laerdal, Norways), and is integrated in the checklist.
The hands-on session takes place 8 days after the first pre-training when the serious game or the online course are played/watched twice, and one day after the second pre-training when they are played/watched once more
Secondary Median Training Time Needed to Reach the Minimal Passing Score for a Simulated Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest Scenario Using a High-fidelity Simulator Evaluation of skill retention. 4 months after the hands-on session.
Secondary Score (on the Checklist) on the First Attempt During the hands-on Session Name: Checklist for performance score of SCA management This checklist was adapted from the 2015 resuscitation guidelines. Points were given for the actions performed correctly in sequence and in time(sequence score, 0 to 4),and for the quality of the chest compressions (compression score,0 to 8). The minimum passing score on this checklist was 11 out of 12 (min 0-max 12), with the absolute requirement to score the maximum 4 points on the sequence score.
Higher scores mean a better outcome.
