Abstract
IntroductionThe primary objective is to assess the face, content, and construct validity of a newly created vasectomy simulation module. MethodsPre- and post-simulation surveys quantifying simulation effectiveness, impact on confidence level, and critiques of the overall design were obtained in July 2015 to assess face and content validity. Residents were subdivided based on year of residency and construct validity was ascertained via a 20-objective checklist and individual Likert score as graded by a single attending physician in a blinded fashion. ResultsA total of 2 medical students and 8 residents (2 Pre-urology, 2 Uro-1, 2 Uro-2, and 2 Uro-3) were included in the analysis. The response rate was 100% (10/10) for the simulation exercise, and all residents (100%, 8/8) were used in the metric data analysis. Simulation increased the confidence to perform a vasectomy independently on average of 1.58 points based on pre- and post-questionnaire analysis (95% CI 1.09—2.89, P=.02). Training year had a significantly positive association (overall P<.01) with number of objectives completed. ConclusionsOur enhanced vasectomy simulation module demonstrated excellent face, content, and construct validity.
