To validate a web-based instrument for assessing healthcare providers' skills in visual inspection with acetic acid or Lugol iodine (VIA/VILI) for the diagnosis and management of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.
An observational cross-sectional study enrolled healthcare providers in a web-based assessment of VIA/VILI skills between August and November 2014. Participants participated in a four-module training course, followed by a multiple-choice test with 70 questions based on cervical photographs of HPV-positive women participating in cervical screening. Logistic regression was used to identify relationships between independent variables and success on the test.
Overall, 255 participants completed the test and 99 (38.8%) passed. No correlation was found between age or sex and test performance. Compared with other healthcare workers, physicians (odds ratio [OR] 1.91, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-3.63; P=0.048), and participants with more colposcopy experience (OR 3.62, 95% CI 1.91-6.85; P<0.001) and postgraduate VIA/VILI training (OR 1.95, 95% CI 1.16-3.29; P=0.012) were more likely to pass the test. Participants who repeated the test (31/255 [12.2%]) were five times more likely to succeed on their second repeat (OR 5.89, 95% CI 1.46-23.73; P=0.013).
Web-based training for VIA/VILI is feasible and can identify healthcare workers who are proficient in this technique.
验证一种基于网络的工具,用于评估医疗保健提供者使用醋酸或卢戈氏碘进行目视检查(VIA/VILI)以诊断和管理宫颈上皮内瘤变的技能。
一项观察性横断面研究于2014年8月至11月招募医疗保健提供者进行基于网络的VIA/VILI技能评估。参与者参加了一个四模块培训课程,随后进行了一项包含70道选择题的测试,这些题目基于参与宫颈筛查的HPV阳性女性的宫颈照片。采用逻辑回归来确定自变量与测试成功之间的关系。
总体而言,255名参与者完成了测试,99名(38.8%)通过。未发现年龄或性别与测试成绩之间存在相关性。与其他医护人员相比,医生(优势比[OR]1.91,95%置信区间[CI]1.01 - 3.63;P = 0.048)、具有更多阴道镜检查经验的参与者(OR 3.62,95% CI 1.91 - 6.85;P < 0.001)以及接受过研究生VIA/VILI培训的参与者(OR 1.95,95% CI 1.16 - 3.29;P = 0.012)更有可能通过测试。重复测试的参与者(255名中的31名[12.2%])在第二次重复测试时成功的可能性高出五倍(OR 5.89,95% CI 1.46 - 23.73;P = 0.013)。
基于网络的VIA/VILI培训是可行的,并且可以识别出精通该技术的医护人员。
