Key result
Simulation-based training significantly improved the knowledge scores of non-physician anesthetists from 49.78% to 66.22% (P < 0.001).
Why the study?
Simulation-based anesthesia education is a new teaching method in Ethiopia, and its effect on non-physician anesthetists knowledge and attitude regarding maternal and neonatal anesthesia care required evaluation.
Does a 3-day simulation-based training course improve knowledge and attitude scores in non-physician anesthetists?
Does a 3-day simulation-based training course improve knowledge and attitude scores in non-physician anesthetists?
Absolute Event Rate: 66.22% vs 49.78%
p-value: p=<0.001
A 3-day simulation-based training course significantly improved short-term knowledge and attitude scores among non-physician anesthetists in Ethiopia.
May support simulation training for non-physician anesthetists in Ethiopia; hypothesis-generating for clinical outcomes.
OBJECTIVE: In Ethiopia simulation-based anesthesia education is a new way of teaching method which started in Mekelle University as of January, 2019. Hence, the purpose of this study is to evaluate whether simulation-based training improves non-physician anesthetists' knowledge and attitude on maternal and neonatal anesthesia cares or not. RESULTS: Out of 50 study subjects, 66% had a working experience of less than 5 years. Knowledge score improved significantly from 49.78 to 66.22% in pretest and posttest results respectively. The posttest result was significantly improved (P < 0.001) for all knowledge questions. The respondents were asked about a negative statement and a positive statement about the need to have effective closed lope communication, maternal resuscitation and neonatal resuscitation. The attitude score improved from 72.45 to 79.11% in pretest and posttest respectively. From the 9 questions the attitudinal mean score for pretest was 6.52 and posttest 7.12. The null hypothesis of equal knowledge and attitude was rejected, t (49) = - 5.54, P < 0.001 and t (49) = - 2.25, P < 0.03 respectively.

Etanaa et al. (2020) studied Non-physician anesthetists (training) (n=50). Simulation-based training vs. Pre-training (baseline) was evaluated on Knowledge score (p=<0.001). Simulation-based training significantly improved the knowledge scores of non-physician anesthetists from 49.78% to 66.22% (P < 0.001).
