- Conditions
- Asthma

- Registration Number
- NCT02776358
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Monastir
- Brief Summary
Bedside clinical case learning, such for respiratory distress, represent a challenge for medical teachers, especially in critical conditions. In fact, this kind of learning implicate the presence of an appropriate case (the patient itself), framework and may be time consuming which could compromise the patient's safety and wellbeing.
New pedagogic tools have emerged to strengthen the medical reasoning and the acquisition of knowledge. in recent years, the development of medical simulation has found a growing interest in the medical teaching field. Contextualization, reproducibility and reliability are the characteristics of high-fidelity simulation (HFS) which guarantee a lifetime experience of clinical conditions without putting at risk patient's safety and comfort.
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of HFS on fifth year medical students learning skills in the assessement and management of an acute asthma attack in the emergency room, and to compares it to other modern teaching tools such as "video-case"

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Difference between the pre and the post-test scores in each group (delta Score) Just before the teaching course (baseline) and one hour later The difference between the pre and the post-test scores is calculated as follow:
delta score = post-test score - pre-test score
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Late performance score 7 days after the teaching course This score is calculated based on a test taken 7 days after the teaching course to assess the students memory of the clinical case and acquired knowledge.
Level of satisfaction one hour after the teaching course A five point likert scale is given to each student to assess their level of satisfaction regarding the teaching technique.
