To describe rates of improved knowledge following a structured 2-day emergency obstetrics training course.
Quantitative assessments to evaluate emergency obstetrics knowledge and practical skills were administered before, immediately after, and 3-9 months following the training course for 65 final-year medical students at the National University of Rwanda. A survey was administered during the final assessment.
In total, 52 (80.0%) students demonstrated knowledge improvement after training. Fifty-seven (87.7%) students improved or maintained their scores from the post-training written test to the final assessment, and 32 (49.2%) retained practical skills. Twenty-one (32.3%) of the class demonstrated competency in both written and practical skills. According to multivariable logistic regression analysis, female gender was associated with overall competency (P=0.01), and use of the internet for academic purposes more than 3-5 times per week tended toward competency (P=0.11).
A 2-day emergency obstetrics training course increased knowledge among medical students. Because educational policies are tailored to address high rates of maternal mortality in resource-poor settings, workshops dedicated to emergency obstetrics should be promoted.
描述参加为期两天的结构化产科急诊培训课程后知识提高的比例。
对卢旺达国立大学的 65 名医学专业最后一年的学生进行了产科急诊知识和实践技能的定量评估，评估在培训前、培训后立即以及培训后 3-9 个月进行。在最后一次评估期间进行了一项调查。
共有 52 名（80.0%）学生在培训后表现出知识提高。57 名（87.7%）学生从培训后的书面测试到最终评估提高或保持了他们的分数，32 名（49.2%）保留了实践技能。21 名（32.3%）学生在书面和实践技能方面都表现出了能力。根据多变量逻辑回归分析，女性性别与整体能力相关（P=0.01），每周使用互联网进行学术活动超过 3-5 次与能力倾向相关（P=0.11）。
为期两天的产科急诊培训课程提高了医学生的知识水平。由于教育政策是针对资源匮乏环境下高孕产妇死亡率量身定制的，因此应该推广专门针对产科急诊的研讨会。
