Hybrid Simulation Combining a High Fidelity Scenario with a Pelvic Ultrasound Task Trainer Enhances the Training and Evaluation of Endovaginal Ultrasound Skills

ABSTRACT Pelvic ultrasound simulation training using high-fidelity mannequins can provide a safe and controlled learning environment to foster the ultrasound education of medical students, residents and faculty. The instruction can be tailored to the specific needs of the learners. Topics for instruction range from teaching basic anatomy and ultrasound scanning techniques to common and advanced obstetrics and gynecology disease presentations and pathological processes. Simulation can closely approximate patient encounters using case based scenarios which will aid in developing knowledge and skills that can be transferred to the clinical environment. The goal of simulation is to help the learners to become more confident and competent to care for their patients.

Abstract Background: Children and adolescents with reproductive health issues may require immediate or emergency care, however in many countries availability of the pediatric and adolescent gynecology (PAG) service is low . That being said, teaching PAG examination to OBGYN, pediatrics and emergency medicine residents seems reasonable, and cannot be underestimated. In order to provide residents with opportunity to learn PAG examination, a high-fidelity hybrid simulation workshop was implemented in our institution. Methods: The study aimed to investigate learners’ attitudes towards the high-fidelity simulation (HFS) hybrid model as compared with task trainer-SP-voice model in the HFS environment and the factors connected to learners’ attitudes towards the hybrid model that could influence learning in high-fidelity simulation (HFS). The concept of attitude was used as the theoretical framework and the mixed method approach to study design was utilized with simultaneous collection of quantitative (original questionnaires) and qualitative data (semi-structured interviews). Results: Residents valued the HFS hybrid model higher over task trainer-SP-voice model in regards to all three attitude components: cognitive (95%), affective (87.5%) and behavioral (83.7%). Analysis of qualitative data revealed six themes important to learners and informing learning of PAG examination in HFS. Further analysis of the themes allowed to develop a conceptual model, in which six factors connected to attitude components influenced learning. These factors were: task difficulty, attention, emotional realism of the simulation, patient’s emotions, physical realism of the simulation, and technical issues. Conclusions: Participants of our study appreciated learning experience with the HFS hybrid model more, based on attitude questionnaire. Moreover, findings revealed that multiple, various factors connected to attitude may influence learning of PAG examination in HFS with hybrid model, and we propose a conceptual model illustrating relationships between those factors.

Abstract Introduction Knee arthrocentesis is frequently performed as a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure. Although considered a key competency for medical doctors, most students never execute the procedure during their training. We aimed to assess technical and nontechnical skills for knee arthrocentesis through high-fidelity hybrid simulation Methods Medical students and general physicians were recruited for training; orthopedic surgeons were recruited as experts. Trainees received educational documentation prior to training. Trainees took a medical history and obtained informed consent from a patient-actor, then encountered a simulated knee to execute the procedure. We adapted a direct observation scale to assess technical and nontechnical skill performance. Personalized feedback was received after each session. Performance among trainees (learning curves) and between trainees and experts was compared using a mixed-effects model. Results Trainees significantly improved from the first session to the second and third. The third session was the learning curve plateau. Performance obtained in the third and fourth sessions were similar to expert performance. The assessment tool evaluated technical and nontechnical skills with high internal consistency and showed high interobserver reliability. Discussion Learning curve analysis showed that high-fidelity simulation allowed trainees to become proficient in technical and nontechnical skills required to perform a safe knee arthrocentesis.Level of Evidence: Level II (Prospective Cohort Study)

Abstract. Faking has been a concern in selection research for many years. Many studies have examined faking in questionnaires while far less is known about faking in selection exercises with higher fidelity. This study applies the theory of planned behavior (TPB; Ajzen, 1991 ) to low- (interviews) and high-fidelity (role play, group discussion) exercises, testing whether the TPB predicts reported faking behavior. Data from a mock selection procedure suggests that candidates do report to fake in low- and high-fidelity exercises. Additionally, the TPB showed good predictive validity for faking in a low-fidelity exercise, yet not for faking in high-fidelity exercises.
