Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
Since 2020, with the entire world in crisis over the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), medical students have adapted to hybrid and distance learning. This study aims to compare the learning outcomes of students learning the procedure of fractional curettage in an online video-assisted teaching program to those of students learning the procedure in a traditional class.
Methods
A quasi-experimental study was conducted among fourth-year medical students who rotated to Obstetrics and Gynecology courses between April 2021 and October 2021. Participants in the first two rotations were enrolled in traditional classes, and the online video-assisted teaching program was introduced in the subsequent two rotations. Both study groups took OSCEs (objective structured clinical examinations), a pre-test and post-test with MCQs (multiple choice questions), and a confidence and satisfaction level questionnaire.
Results
A total of 106 fourth-year medical students, 54 in the traditional group and 52 in the online video-assisted teaching program, were recruited. The online video-assisted group showed a statistically better mean OSCE score (85.67 ± 11.29 vs. 73.87 ± 13.01, p < 0.001) and mean post-test MCQ score than the traditional group (4.21 ± 0.87 vs. 3.80 ± 0.98, p = 0.0232). Moreover, the mean difference between the two groups' pre and post-test MCQ scores was significantly different (0.96 ± 1.37 vs. 1.79 ± 1.50 in traditional and online video-assisted teaching program groups, respectively, P = 0.0038). The participants in the experimental group reported significantly greater confidence (P < 0.001) in performing the fractional curettage procedure. However, the mean satisfaction score was significantly higher in the control group (p = 0.0053).
Conclusion
The online video-assisted teaching program on the fractional curettage procedure, a necessary and skill-demanding procedure, is an effective and advantageous education tool that improves skills, knowledge, and confidence in fourth-year medical students. We recommend that the video-assisted teaching program is another effectively procedural teaching method for medical students.
