- Imperial College London
- Brief Summary
In order to improve the implementation of routine surgical video recording, the researchers want to understand what the challenges associated with the uptake of this technology are. The aim of this study is to explore the barriers faced by key stakeholders including the surgical care team, information governance, and patients within the field of surgical video reporting. The data from this qualitative study will allow the researchers to understand better the challenges associated with uptake of surgical video recording. This will allow the researchers to develop strategies to overcome these challenges and subsequently improve uptake of surgical video recording which will promote safer and more transparent surgery.
- Detailed Description
This study will involve the use of interviews to determine the barriers to the implementation of surgical video recording.
Participants will be invited to participate in an online 1 on 1 interview 1 on 1. A total of 10-15 participants will be recruited to interview. Interview guides have been developed from the existing literature on the subject. A member of the research team will be present to conduct all interviews. It is estimated that interviews will last between 45-60mins. All interview audio and video will be recorded, as appropriate.
The aim is to recruit 15 participants of which 2-3 will be patient participants and the remaining will be professional participants.
Concerning recruitment of surgical team members: surgeons; trainees; anaesthetists; nursing staff; and operating department practitioners will be invited to participate. Members of the trust's information governance team will also be recruited as key stakeholders within this field as well as representatives from industry who are known personally to the study team.
Non-patient participants will be identified according to their role and be approached directly in person by a member of the study team at their place of work eg outpatient clinic or operating theatres or invited via email for the purposes of recruitment.
Concerning recruitment of patients, appropriate surgical patients satisfying the study inclusion and exclusion criteria will be identified by the direct care team in an outpatient setting through review of patient records. These patients will be under the direct clinical care of members of the study team and will be patients who are awaiting or have recently undergone surgery. The direct care team will explain the rationale of the study and if the potential participant is willing to be contacted, the direct care team will obtain an email address from the potential participant. The potential participant's email address will then be passed on to the study team for further contact.
All interested participants will be emailed a link to an online participant information sheet and consent form.

Group Intervention Description Semi structured interviews Semi structured interviews Semi-structured interviews with topic guides centred around the Non adoption, abandonment, scale-up, spread, and sustainability (NASSS) framework will be led by a member of the research team and conducted with all participants. The aim of the interviews is to explore perceived barriers to the uptake of routine surgical video recording. Transcripts will be subsequently thematically analysed using an inductive approach to determine key themes to the barriers of routine surgical video recording.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Stakeholder perceived barriers to surgical video recording 6 months Participants will undergo a semi-structured interview with topic guides centred around the Non adoption, abandonment, scale-up, spread, and sustainability (NASSS) framework. Interview audio files will be subsequently transcribed and an inductive thematic analysis will be conducted using a grounded-theory approach in order to elucidate key themes to perceived barriers to the uptake of routine surgical video recording.
