Applying Herrmann's Brain Quadrant Model to Learning Styles in Anesthesiology Residents

Completed

• Conditions: Learning Problem
• Interventions: Diagnostic Test: Herrmann Brain Model

• Registration Number: NCT06479044
• Lead Sponsor: Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social

Brief Summary

the ability to learn and adapt to clinical demands is essential in the training of residents. The Herrmann Brain Model categorizes thinking styles based on the preference for utilizing brain quadrants, serving as an applied tool for residents to assess their learning preferences.

Detailed Description

This study delineates the learning styles according to Herrmann's brain quadrant model among anesthesiology residents at the National Western Specialty Hospital, Mexican Social Security Institute. Cross-sectional descriptive study; the Herrmann Brain Dominance Test was administered to anesthesiology residents. Each brain quadrant embodies distinct characteristics, thinking patterns, and approaches to knowledge acquisition. The test comprises 120 multiple-choice items on academic, daily, and professional scenarios. The quadrants are described as follows: LC "Scientific Expert," LL "Organizer-Introvert," RC "Interpersonal Strategist," RL "Imaginative Communicator."
