Abstract
Introduction: In India Compulsory Rotatory Residential Internship (CRRI) refers to one-year compulsory work in the hospital attached to the medical college or in any other approved hospital. This gives MBBS doctor the basic clinical experience in all the disciplines of medicine and enables them to work as a General Physician. As Primary Health care providers they should be able to manage normal labour. Early and timely diagnosis and reference of abnormal cases can reduce maternal and infant mortality and morbidity rates. Study aimed to assess the effectiveness of self-learning module on knowledge and learner satisfaction regarding normal labour for Obstetrics and Gynecology internship. Material and methods: 48 interns attending Obstetrics and Gynecology internship were enrolled voluntarily and were randomized into two groups, 24 each control and study group. A questionnaire pretest was done and the interns were graded. The study group interns were then trained with the help of the module and a posttest questionnaire was conducted. Additional six questions on satisfaction with the learning experience were answered as a part of posttest. Student t test was employed for statistical analysis, setting significance at p<0.05. An association analysis by Pearson’s Chi square test was conducted Results: Data analysis of level of knowledge revealed that, no significant association was seen between the gender, future working plans, and family background with the knowledge of the subject.12 Interns who had a desire to do post-graduation in Obstetrics and Gynecology showed a significant association with the knowledge of the subject, with a mean score of 25.46.(P value < 0.001). Conclusion: There was evident increase in the knowledge scores in all the areas included in the study after administration of selflearning module. Interns desirable to do post-graduation in O and G showed increased association with the knowledge of the subject.
