An interventional study of Transvaginal Ultrasound Educational DVD in Ovarian Cysts, sponsored by Thomas Jefferson University. Completed at 3 sites in United States. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-09-08.
Sponsored by Thomas Jefferson University · Not applicable and Interventional
Obstetrics and gynecology residents are deemed to be proficient in transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) upon graduation from an accredited program, although TVUS education in residency is not standardized. The objective of this study is to assess for improvement in transvaginal ultrasound knowledge among residents after viewing an educational DVD.
This is a multi-site prospective parallel randomized controlled trial using an educational DVD from the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine, "Gynecology: Beginners Only"®, compared to routine education. All participants completed a pretest on transvaginal ultrasound images and principles. The intervention group repeated the test after viewing the DVD. During the trial, performing and logging transvaginal ultrasounds were encouraged. All enrolled residents repeated the test at 6-10 months after intervention.
73 studies on the registry are indexed under Ovarian Cysts; 15 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 57 is below the median of 67 across 48 interventional studies indexed under Ovarian Cysts.
