Impact of fine motor skills acquisition and psychological factors on sex-specific performance in early interventional radiology training.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To explore the impact of self-reported motor skills on sex-specific training outcome in early interventional radiology (INR).

Materials and methods

Based on the population of Reder et al., the study assessed the frequency, duration, and intensity of manual-focused activities, encompassing both non-professional and professional engagements (64 participants; 25 women), using the NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) scores for mental workload following a standardized INR training session for basic techniques. Spearman's correlation and multiple regression analyses with backward elimination and stepwise variable selection were conducted.

Results

Sex-specific significant differences exist for predicting objective performance (OP) based on lifetime-developed hand focu
