A Prospective Study of Standardized Coaching Language to Improve Endoscopy Training Quality

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 25 (actual)
• Sponsor: University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The goal of this randomized control study is to determine if the use of standardized coaching language by faculty trainers for teaching colonoscopy is associated with improved colonoscopy performance. The main questions it aims to answer are: * If the use of standardized coaching language is effective in improving colonoscopy training? * If the use of standardized coaching language influences the clarity of instructions by the faculty trainers during colonoscopy teaching Participants will take part in simulated colonoscopy teaching encounter using a virtual reality simulator for 1 hour in 2 different sessions 2 weeks apart. Researchers will compare 2 groups of faculty trainers to to see if the standardized coaching language effects the colonoscopy training quality.

Conditions

• Education, Medical
• Colonoscopy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Educational Training on standardized coaching language	The faculty trainer participants in training groups will watch a 15-min long video between the two simulated endoscopy teaching encounters. The video link will be emailed to them 1 week before the second simulated encounter, and they can watch it in their own time. The training video will demonstrate the use of recommended coaching language for endoscopy instruction (e.g., recommended 14 standard terms, need to refer to the screen when directing a trainee as opposed to their hands, use of a clockface analogy) and communication best practices (e.g., checking to ensure understanding, avoidance of cognitive overload, task deconstruction).
OTHER	Educational Training on goal setting	The faculty trainer participants in the control groups will watch a 15-min long video between the two simulated endoscopy teaching encounters. The video link will be emailed to them 1 week before the second simulated encounter, and they can watch it in their own time. The video will be a 'dummy' colonoscopy training video which outlines how to set goals ahead of an endoscopy training session. The video will not discuss standardized coaching language and/or communication best practices.
