Educational Interventions for Surgeons During COVID-19 Pandemic: Cross-sectional, E-survey

• Conditions: COVID-19

• Registration Number: NCT04732858
• Lead Sponsor: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

Brief Summary

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic required a rapid surge of healthcare capacity to face a growing number of critically ill patients. For this reason, a support reserve of physicians, including surgeons, were required to be reassigned to offer support. Given the time shortage for trainers and trainees, time and cost-efficient programs to gain maximal benefit from short rotations for several physicians at one time are required 8. In case of pandemics, blending face-to-face education to e-learning seems sustainable, with online resources being scalable and more cost effective than other methods 9.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study was to realize a survey on the educational programs (hospital based or web-based), during the COVID-19 pandemic, and their impact on behavior change, satisfaction and knowledge of the target population of surgeons.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Kirkpatrick level 3 on a 5-modalities Likert scale	once at the time of survey	The primary endpoint of the e-survey was to explore the effectiveness of educational interventions experienced by responders, considered as a whole "bundle" (and not one-by-one), among the surgeons exposed to a training program, on behavior change (Kirkpatrick level 3) in their daily role during their re-affectation within a medical COVID-unit. Behavior change represents a change in the daily role of healthcare professionals (for example, referral of patients with suspected COVID to the most appropriate screening and care pathway). For this survey, we considered subjective measures (self-assessment on a Likert scale on 5 modalities) of behavior change.
