简要总结
The study aims to assess the impact of remote guidance in ultrasound training for medical professionals new to abdominal ultrasound. It involves 40 participants, divided into two groups of 20 each - a self-study group and a remote learning group. Participants include licensed doctors with no prior training in abdominal ultrasound, who are over 18 years old and have consented to participate.
详细描述
The study's design includes pre-surveys, random assignment, ultrasound training through educational videos, and distinct practice methods for each group - one with remote guidance and the other with traditional, in-person assistance. The effectiveness of training will be evaluated based on scores from evaluation forms, time taken for ultrasound imaging, frequency of requesting help, and surveys (NASA-Task Load Index, System Usability Scale, and a Self-confidence pre/post survey). Statistical analysis will be conducted using R software, employing tests such as the student t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test.
This research is anticipated to provide valuable insights into the efficacy of remote guidance in ultrasound education, potentially influencing future medical training methodologies.

盲法说明
We plan to mask the identity of participant groups from the evaluators during the assessment process of the effectiveness of ultrasound education using tele-education. This blinding is intended to ensure the objectivity and integrity of the evaluation results.

结局指标
主要结局
Ultrasound Skill Evaluation Scale
时间窗: During the education session, approximately 30 minutes
The composite scores from the evaluation forms will serve as the primary measure of effectiveness. These scores will be based on a standardized evaluation scale titled "Ultrasound Skill Evaluation Scale", which ranges from 0 to 90 points, where higher scores indicate better performance. Scores will be analyzed and compared using statistical tests such as the Student's t-test or the Wilcoxon rank-sum test to evaluate skill acquisition differences between groups.
