Abstract BackgroundMultiple sclerosis diseases threatens independence and self-efficacy for effective participation in family and community. Patients' low self-efficacy affects their ability to cope with problems and stress, depression their level of motivation in difficult situations. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of self-care education by team member teaching on self-efficacy in Multiple sclerosis patients. MethodsIn the randomized controlled trial study, 40 Multiple sclerosis patients from Jahrom MS society were selected by simple random sampling and then were divided into intervention and control groups by random allocation. In the intervention group, 6 training sessions were held twice a week for 60 minutes. Data were collected using Multiple Sclerosis Self-Efficacy Scale before, immediately and one month after intervention in both groups. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 21 and descriptive statistics, chi-square test, repeated measurements and ANOVA at significant level of 0.05.ResultsPatients in intervention and control groups were matched for demographic variables such as age, gender, marital status, education, occupation and so on. The mean score of self-efficacy in before, immediately and one month after intervention significantly different showed in intervention group (p = 0.001), whereas these changes were not significant in the control group (0.228). Self-efficacy scores were also significantly different between control and intervention groups at immediately and one month after intervention (p = 0.001).ConclusionBased on the findings, the team training approach provides a simple and safe learning for patients and leads to the improvement of self-efficacy in Multiple sclerosis patients.

Abstract Background Multiple factors have challenged the surgical training which led to the development of the instructional videos to hasten the proficiency in performing surgical procedures. However, their educational effect has not been objectively studied yet. This study aims at objectively assessing the effect of instructional videos along with the subjective assessment of the self-efficacy of the training residents. The videos used were selected from YouTube, which is a valuable resource currently because of its ubiquitous availability and cost effectiveness. Methods A stratified randomized controlled trial was performed using an objective assessment tool for the procedural knowledge along with a questionnaire to assess the effect of videos on the perceived self-efficacy of the residents. Results There was a significant positive effect of watching instructional videos on the procedural knowledge. Even though residents report positive experience with using the videos, there was no significant effect of videos on the self-efficacy scores as reported by the residents. Conclusion instructional videos improved the procedural knowledge of the residents. This positive observation of the use of the YouTube videos offers great opportunities for the educationalists to select from thousands of videos instead of making the videos themselves.
