    Comprehensive Video-Module Instruction an Alternative for Teaching IUD Insertion to Family Medicine Residents
    (2013-05-13) Garcia-Rodriguez, Juan Antonio; Donnon, Tyrone; Kassam, Aliya
    There are different challenges currently faced by the Department of Family Medicine to impart procedural skills instruction to residents. An IUD video-module was created to provide an alternative approach for such training, offering the possibility of its use in any clinical setting or teaching situation. A randomized, two group experimental research design was used to focused on the comparison of residents’ procedural skills performance between the instruction methods (video-module vs. traditional approach) to teaching IUD insertion. The results showed that both methods were effective in providing procedural skill instruction. The performance scores were significantly higher in the video-module group, but there were no significant differences in residents’ satisfaction scores. There was no correlation between the different scores and sex or age, or between performance and level of satisfaction. In conclusion, the use of video-module instruction is effective to provide IUD training and significantly higher than the gold standard in the performance component.
