A new contraception learning package received average ratings from medical students. Improvements are needed, including a facilitator with expertise and enhanced self-assessment tools for better contraceptive education.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Reproductive Health

Background:

  • A self-directed learning package was created to teach medical students essential skills for discussing contraception.
  • The package aims to improve communication between healthcare providers and patients regarding reproductive health matters.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the contraception learning package and its facilitation.
  • To evaluate student feedback and ratings on the package's initial presentation at four teaching hospitals.

Main Methods:

  • The study involved medical students participating in a newly developed self-directed learning package on contraception.
  • Student feedback and ratings were collected after the session's first presentation.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Students rated the contraception package as average, citing a lack of introduction, facilitator expertise, and adequate self-assessment tools.
  • An incorrect assumption about students' prior hormonal contraception knowledge was identified.
  • Students suggested modifications including pairing students, reducing session duration, and adding hormonal contraception and testing modules.

    • Conclusions:

    • The contraception learning package requires a knowledgeable facilitator with expertise in patient-doctor communication and self-directed learning.
    • Enhanced self-assessment tools are crucial for improving the effectiveness of contraceptive education.
    • Student-proposed modifications aim to optimize the learning experience and content.
