Contribution of video Capsule to medical student learning of the Monofilament Test
##plugins.themes.academic_pro.article.main##
Abstract
Introduction:Digital tools, particularly video capsules, offer a promising alternative to traditional methods for optimizing the learning of procedural skills, such as the monofilament test. Few studies have evaluated their relevance in this specific context. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of an educational video capsule on medical students' learning of the monofilament test.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted over a four-month period with second-cycle medical students (DCEM2). Student performance was assessed before and one week after viewing a video capsule detailing the monofilament test procedure. Student satisfaction was also gathered via a questionnaire (using a Likert scale assessment).
Results: Twenty-one students were included in the study. After viewing the video capsule, a statistically significant improvement in the median number of correctly performed steps was observed (7 [5.5; 10] vs 11 [10; 13], p < 10⁻³). For half of the assessed steps, the increase in the number of students performing them correctly was statistically significant after viewing. After watching the video, 16 students were able to correctly interpret the test. The vast majority of students reported that the video helped them better understand both the procedural steps (n=20) and the test's interpretation (n=18).
Conclusion: Our results suggest that the video capsule is a relevant and effective educational tool for teaching a procedural clinical skill such as the monofilament test.
