Evaluation of the PelvicSim Simulator for Training in Intrauterine Device Insertions
Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are a very effective, long-acting method of contraception. In order to make them accessible to women, health care providers must be trained to insert them. Physicians, physician assistant, and nurse practitioners often learn how to do so by first learning about IUDs, then practicing on a model that the IUD manufacturer provides.
Educators have recently been using more sophisticated models to teach clinical skills such as surgical procedures. We are investigating whether these models may be more useful in teaching IUD insertion.

Insertion Score Before and Immediately After Initial Practice (Same Day), and 3 Months After Initial Practice
Tidsramme: Before and immediately after initial practice on assigned simulator (same day), and three months after initial practice
|
Participants were filmed performing 3 IUD insertions each, for three IUDs available in the US. They then practiced on an assigned simulator for 30 minutes, and were re-recorded immediately afterwards. Three months after initial practice, they returned and performed the insertions again. Sets of insertions were scored using a checklist. Participants earned up to 86 points for performing various elements of IUC insertion correctly: sounding the uterus (14 points), and loading as well as inserting the copper device (24 points), levonorgestrel 52mg device (26 points), and levonorgestrel 13.5mg device (22 points). Higher scores were better. |
