Abstract
The objective of the study was to see if colposcopy training can provide a measurable effect. A questionnaire containing 10 clinical scenarios requiring colposcopy was completed by delegates attending three colposcopy training courses in Europe. A total of 128 and 132 questionnaires were returned pre- and post-training, respectively. The means and standard deviations for the number of correctly assessed scenarios were M = 4.21, SD = 1.71 at pre-training and M = 5.05, SD = 1.82 at post-training. The χ2-test showed a statistically significant difference in the proportions of correct answers at pre- and post-training for five questions. The two factor ANOVA showed that there is a statistically significant difference between the pre- and post-training measures (F(2,124) = 17.13, p < 0.001) although the effect of training is not the same for all three locations. Trainees’ results show that there is a positive effect of training. The questionnaire may be used as a quality tool for measuring the effectiveness of training for colposcopy.
