Summary
The study is a prospective, randomized comparative study using a mixed methods design. The primary objective is to compare the effect of self-regulated simulation training (SRST) to instructor-regulated simulation training (IRST) in basic laparoscopic skills. The study population is first-year trainees in the specialties General Surgery, Urology and Obstetrics and Gynaecology within the postgraduate training region of northern Denmark. 46 first-year trainees will be randomized into two groups, one receiving SRST and one receiving IRST in basic laparoscopic skills.
Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OTHER | Home-based self-regulated simulation training (SRST) | Participants allocated to the SRST arm train basic laparoscopic skills at home. Participants train by themselves using a portable box training model (BT). Training is conducted and structured through an online application-based training platform. Training is instructed by online instructional videos and texts. The BT is connected to a laptop and the participants can submit videos of their training exercises for assessment through the online training platform. |
| OTHER | Centralized instructor-regulated simulation training (IRST) | Participants allocated to the IRST arm train basic laparoscopic skills at the simulation centre. Participants train on a portable box training model (BT). Training is structured through an online application-based training platform and facilitated and instructed by surgical specialists. The BT is connected to a laptop and the participants can submit videos of their training exercises for assessment through the online training platform. |
