can performance on Summative Evaluation of wax added dental anatomy projects be better predicted from the combination of supervised and unsupervised practice than from supervised practice alone
European Journal of Endocrinology, 2016Co-Authors: G Radjaeipour, D W Chambers, M GeissbergerAbstract:Purpose The study explored the effects of adding student-directed projects in pre-clinical dental anatomy laboratory on improving the predictability of students’ eventual performance on Summative Evaluation exercises, given the presence of intervening faculty-controlled, in-class practice. Method All students from four consecutive classes (n = 555) completed wax-added home projects (HP), spending as much or as little time as desired and receiving no faculty feedback; followed by similar laboratory projects (LP) with time limits and feedback; and then Summative practical projects (PP) in a timed format but without faculty feedback. Path analysis was used to assess if the student-directed HP had any effect over and above the laboratory projects. Results Average scores were HP = 0.785 (SD = 0.089); LP = 0.736 (SD = 0.092); and PP = 0.743 (SD = 0.108). Path analysis was applied to show the effects of including a student-controlled home practice exercise on Summative exercise performance. HP contributed 57% direct effect and 37% mediated effect through the LP condition. Conclusion Student-directed home practice provided a measureable improvement in ability to predict eventual performance in Summative test cases over and above the predictive contribution of intervening faculty-controlled practice conditions.

us human factors engineering Evaluation of an updated follitropin alfa pen injector gonal f rff redi ject and instructions for use
Expert Opinion on Drug Delivery, 2018Co-Authors: M.c. Mahony, Andrea Dwyer, Raschelle Barkume, Allison Strochlic, Fabien Jeannerot, Thomas StüdeliAbstract:OBJECTIVES The multi-dose, pre-filled GONAL-f® RFF Redi-ject® (follitropin alfa injection) pen injector was updated following feedback on user experience and pen functionality, as part of a continuous assessment program. Human-factors engineering (HFE) Evaluations were conducted to confirm that the updated pen injector could be used by intended users to safely and effectively perform critical tasks identified by the risk-management plan. METHODS Five rounds of formative Evaluation and a simulated-use Summative Evaluation of the pen injector, instructions for use (IFU), and training video were conducted by HFE specialists or the intended users of the pen injector. RESULTS The IFU and training video were revised following formative Evaluations. Summative Evaluation of simulated-use involved 60 participants, each of whom performed six use-scenarios related to potential hazards, selected on the basis of the risk-management plan. Overall, participants found the pen injector easy to use and the IFU clear and effective. CONCLUSIONS Through an iterative process involving a series of HFE Evaluations, modifications were made to the injection mechanism, the dose display, the IFU and the training video. Summative Evaluation confirmed that the updated pen injector and associated user materials can be used safely and effectively to perform critical tasks identified through the risk-management plan.

Usability engineering study in the European Union of a redesigned follitropin alfa pen injector for infertility treatment
2016Co-Authors: Fabien Jeannerot, Thomas Stüdeli, Lisa Gunther-lavergne, David Hirning, Joan SchertzAbstract:Objectives: The prefilled, multidose, GONAL-f ® (follitropin alfa) pen injector was redesigned to improve ease of use and pen functionality. This usability engineering Evaluation aimed to demonstrate that the redesigned pen injector could be used by the intended users to safely and effectively deliver follitropin alfa. Methods: Formative and Summative usability engineering Evaluations of the pen injector, training and instructions for use (IFU) were conducted. This included an expert review, and formative and Summative Evaluations involving patients with infertility and fertility nurses. For the Summative Evaluation, participants received training and subsequently performed tasks based on three selected hazard-related use scenarios to evaluate real-world use, including simulated injections. Results: The formative Evaluations confirmed that the pen injector was ready for Summative Evaluation. Task performance was high in the Summative Evaluation for both patients and nurses; the tasks that were observed to be most difficult to complete were priming the pen, completing an incomplete injection and completing the treatment diary. Participants rated the device as having above average usability. Most patients ranked the overall system (pen injector, device training and IFU) and its individual components to be either ‘extremely easy’ or ‘somewhat easy’ to use. Conclusions: These usability engineering Evaluations demonstrated that patients and nurses could safely and effectively use the redesigned GONAL-f pen injector, and that they also found the IFU and device training to be easy to use.
