PO235 The impact of a brief neurological examination video on neurophobia
2017
Overview
Neurophobia is well documented amongst medical students. However, teaching resources that may address neurophobia have been poorly evaluated. Our brief neurological examination video was deemed a useful teaching resource by neurologists (Hassan-Smith et al., JNNP, 2016) and has been viewed >1 00 000 times via YouTube. However, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of the same examination video on the level of neurophobia amongst 4th year medical students.MethodBoth our control (n=51) and intervention (n=65) groups received a curriculum based neurology induction lecture (3x between Sept 2016-Feb 2017). Additionally, during the lecture, the intervention group were exposed to the brief neurological examination video that discussed the reasoning behind the neurological examination, relevant neuroanatomy and common neurological signs. The level of neurophobia was subjectively assessed at baseline and post lecture using a modified version of the validated CSLP084 questionnaire (Schon et al) via an electronic voting system.ResultsWe will be presenting our findings on the impact of the brief neurological examination video on the confidence levels of medical students to perform the neurological examination and illicit signs of neurological disease. Implementation of our brief neurological examination video, available via the @TOSSTUDYGroup twitter feed, into the medical school curriculum has the potential to reduce neurophobia amongst students.
