Untersuchung des Einflusses von virtuellem Training auf den kurz- und mittelfristigen Lernerfolg in der gefäßchirurgischen Ausbildung
摘要
Due to limited surgical training opportunities in vascular surgery training, there is a need for innovative teaching concepts. The present study therefore investigated the learning success of the use of virtual training units for the training of microsurgical techniques.
Material and methodsWithin 11 months 10 participants took part in a standardized microsurgical training. Of the 10 participants 5 completed a virtual training (VT) module, five participants completed a classical theoretical learning unit with a senior vascular surgery instructor. This was followed by identical microsurgical training in the microsurgical wet lab. The short-term and medium-term learning success was then examined using three learning assessments (day 1, week 1, week 4).
ResultsThe VT group showed a significantly (p < 0.05) higher success rate (98.48%) in performing the practical exercise in the wet lab compared to the non-VT group (90.28%). When examining the short-term and medium-term learning success, the VT group repeated the learned content after 4 weeks with a success rate of 95% compared to 82.5% in the non-VT group. No significant differences were found regarding the time required to carry out the practical exercises.
ConclusionA possible positive influence of VT on the short-term and medium-term learning success of practical and theoretical contents was demonstrated. In the practical execution of the exercises, VT could have had a positive influence on the adherence to the correct surgical procedures.
