Abstract
A good mannequin is needed to improve the quality of clinical skill learning. A strain sensors gauge can be applied into gynecologic bimanual examination mannequin. This study compared a new strain gauge sensors mannequin and non-sensor mannequin for gynecologic bimanual examination training in undergraduate medical student. We made a new female torso model implemented with strain gauge sensors in the definitive landmark, then used this new mannequin for gynecologic bimanual examination training in undergraduate medical student, and evaluated using questioner. We observed 4 parameters: mannequin appearance, student’s self confidence to palpate uterus and ovary, and student’s learning motivation. The new model improved student’s confident to palpate ovary (p<0.05) and student’s motivation (p<0.001) compared to non-sensor mannequin. In contrast, the gross appearance of the new mannequin was inferior (p<0.05). However, there was no difference in defining the uterus position during examination (p>0.05) in both mannequins. A new female torso model with strain gauge sensors can be applied for gynecologic examination training.
