Summary
This trial aims to see if teaching obstetrics and gynecology doctors about ergonomic body positions and having them practice these positions will help prevent injuries at work. Participants will attend a class and then be divided
Who is the study for?
This trial is for obstetrics and gynecology doctors in training. It's designed to see if a class on ergonomic body positions, combined with hands-on practice, can help them learn to move in ways that prevent work-related injuries.
What is being tested?
The study tests whether ergonomics education and guided practice improve how these doctors position their bodies during surgery. One group gets both the class and feedback-driven practice; another only attends the class. Their skills are videotaped and compared over time.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical or drug treatments, traditional side effects aren't expected. However, participants may experience fatigue or muscle strain from practicing surgical skills.

Trial Design
2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Intervention groupExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
This group will receive directed feedback and guided practice regarding their ergonomic positioning while performing basic surgical skills exercises on a trainer
Group II: ControlExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
This group will not receive directed feedback or guided practice regarding their ergonomic positioning while performing basic surgical skills exercises on a trainer during the study. After the study is completed they will receive this feedback, but it will not be included as a part of the study data.
