Abstrakt: Various reports have advocated the use of interdisciplinary team training to improve communication and coordination within care teams. Although training programs for individuals occur, if the care team is responsible for most clinical errors, then team training might be more effective. Kirkpatrick’s theoretical model for evaluation of training has 4 potential levels to be evaluated, with the bottom 2 levels indicating the trainee’s personal reaction to the training and the trainee’s improvement in knowledge. Level 3 measures the conversion of learned skills and behavior into clinical practice. Level 4 measures the effect of training on measurable clinical outcomes. No randomized controlled trials have evaluated the effectiveness of team training in obstetric emergencies with simulation methods using Kirkpatrick’s third- or fourth-level model. This cluster, multicenter, randomized controlled trial was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of team training in a medical simulation center based on the hypothesis that such obstetric team training can improve team performance and increase use of essential clinical skills.
