ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring whether using mental imagery can help anesthesia residents improve their non-technical skills, which are important for communication and decision-making in their work. The study will compare two methods: one group will practice mental imagery, which involves visualizing the steps of neonatal resuscitation, while the other group will simply read about the same process. The goal is to see if imagining the techniques helps residents learn better than just reading about them.

If you're an anesthesia resident in your first four years of training and are interested in participating, you can volunteer for this study. Participants will first receive training in neonatal resuscitation and then be assigned to one of the two groups. Over the next six months, they will practice their assigned method at specific intervals. After six months, the participants will be evaluated to see how well they learned the skills. This research could provide valuable insights into effective training methods for future medical professionals.
