Video Feedback Versus Verbal Feedback

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Resident Surgical Training
• Interventions: Other: Structured verbal feedback followed by video feedback; Other: Video feedback followed by structured verbal feedback

• Registration Number: NCT02948595
• Lead Sponsor: University of New Mexico

Brief Summary

The long term goal of our research is to develop a curriculum for Obstetrics and Gynecology resident physicians that regularly employs use of video assessment to improve surgical skills. Regular use of video feedback may enable improved self-assessment and allow for formal documentation of proficiency. The overall objective is to compare the use of video feedback to use of structured verbal feedback in the simulated task of laparoscopic vaginal cuff closure.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Improvement in ob/gyn resident physician self-efficacy as measured by self-efficacy questionnaire in video versus verbal feedback for simulated laparoscopic vaginal cuff closure	up to 18 months	Resident physicians will report their self-efficacy in completion of simulated laparoscopic vaginal cuff closure using an adaptation of a previously validated self-efficacy questionnaire. Their self-efficacy will be compared after completion of the task incorporating verbal feedback from a proctor to completion of the task incorporating review of video feedback provided by proctor.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Improvement in time of simulated laparoscopic vaginal cuff closure with video versus verbal feedback	up to 18 months	Resident physicians will be timed (in minutes) for completion of simulated laparoscopic vaginal cuff closure. Time will be compared in completion of the task after verbal feedback from a proctor versus completion of task after video feedback from a proctor.
Improvement in skill of simulated laparoscopic vaginal cuff closure as measured by Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) global rating scale with video versus verbal feedback	up to 18 months	Two advanced gynecologic laparoscopists will review the films of the tasks for each resident physician. They will rate level of skill for each participant based on Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) global rating scale. The reviews will generate two scores for each participant: the score for the task completed after the resident receives verbal feedback and the score for the task completed after the resident receives video feedback. The two scores will then be compared for each participant.
