Abstract

Introduction
Intraosseous catheterization is an essential procedure for physicians in emergency care. It was traditionally taught through face-to-face practical training, but there is now an increasing use of video media in the education of medical interns.
Objectives
This study compares the effectiveness of learning intraosseous catheterization through video-based learning and traditional face-to-face learning, and to assess the effectiveness of video-based learning over a four-week period.
Method
This research is designed as a prospective study and a randomized controlled trial. It was conducted among Thai interns who graduated from international institutions and underwent training at Lerdsin Hospital, with data collected from June 1, 2023 to November 1, 2023. Fifty nine participants were included in the study, divided into two groups: Group V (video-based learning) with 29 participants, and Group T (face-to-face learning) with 30 participants. Both groups were evaluated through pre-test and post-test with multiple-choice tests, post-test practical examinations, satisfaction surveys, and a follow-up assessment conducted four weeks after the training. The quality of the test items was assessed using Index of Item-Objective Congruence.
Result
In the multiple-choice test, which had a maximum score of 10, Group V had a mean post-test score of 8.586 (SD 1.296), significantly higher than Group T, which had a mean score of 7.833 (SD 1.367) (p=0.034). Furthermore, when evaluating the learning outcomes within Group V, it was found that the mean post-test score four weeks later was 9.00 (SD 1.50), which was significantly higher than the pre-test mean score of 3.00 (SD 2.00) (p<0.001). Additionally, the satisfaction rating regarding the appropriateness of the learning duration in Group V was 5.00 (IQR 0), significantly higher than that of Group T, which was rated at 4.00 (IQR 2.00) (p<0.001).
Conclusion
Video-based learning on intraosseous fluid catheterization is effective and does not differ from traditional face-to-face learning.
