Abstract

The growing interest in simulations in Medicine, particularly in Obstetrics, comes fromcontemporary changes in medical education, as well as from the need to ensure patient safety.Medical education and training, with simulation of childbirth care practices, can contribute to betterassistance to parturient women. It is necessary to incorporate new technologies in educationalmethods, mainly for Emergency Remote Education in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.Objectives: to develop and evaluate the applicability of a 360 ° video of assistance to the secondand third periods of vaginal birth, for the Emergency Remote Teaching of undergraduate medicalstudents. Methods: This is applied research, the development of teaching material for the medicalcourse, addressing the assistance to the second and third periods of vaginal birth, using simulationresources and videos recorded in 360º. The established scenario is the Vaginal Birth Center and theprocedures will be simulated with the Noelle S575 simulator mannequin and a video recording witha 360º camera will be made to be available to students in the 5th year of medical graduation. Fiftystudents will be invited to participate in the study. The student will be sent a link to access thevideo and complete the form with standardized questions and answers on a 5-point Likert scale onthe content provided. The answers will be analyzed descriptively as to the results of the videoevaluation instrument, and, in addition, quantitative analysis will be performed by observing theminimum and maximum values, the calculation of medians, means and standard deviations of thescore assigned to the Likert scale.Keywords: 360 ° video; Simulation training; Teaching; Obstetrics; Childbirth; Obstetric delivery
