“…Específicamente ha demostrado mejorar la adquisición de conocimiento médico, la comunicación y el trabajo en equipo, el desarrollo de ciertas habilidades, disminuir el estrés durante los procedimientos e incluso ha mostrado directa mejoría de ciertos resultados clínicos La simulación como herramienta de educación en pregrado se ha usado exitosamente en la enseñanza de ciencias básicas [36][37][38][39] , en el entrenamiento del examen físico de pacientes [40][41][42][43] y en el entrenamiento de habilidades quirúrgicas y de procedimientos como cricotirotomías, punciones venosas periféricas, punciones lumbares e instalación de tubos pleurales [44][45][46] . Se han observado ventajas como menor estrés y mejor disposición de los alumnos a realizar ciertos procedimientos solos, al ser entrenados antes con simulación 45 y también mejor disposición de los pacientes, cuando los alumnos han sido entrenados previamente con simulación 46 .…”

“…Most studies examining virtual simulators include short questionnaires for the users to complete after they have used the simulator; the questionnaires use either Likert scales or yes/no responses to determine the face validity and effectiveness of a simulator. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Longer selfreport questionnaires have the ability to be more specific and can help determine user-friendliness, training capacity for the simulator, first impressions of the design and users' experience with the simulator. 15,16 These questionnaires can also inform the further development of the simulator.…”

“…2 A literature review of medically related questionnaires for virtual simulators provided many types of questions. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][24][25][26] The questions most closely associated with this type of procedure and these domains of fidelity were modified, and we created new questions relating to our specific objectives. The questions were designed to assess the environmental, equipment and psychological fidelity domains, as defined by Rehmann and colleagues, 2 of both the Sawbones and virtual simulator in relation to ulna fixation.…”

Background: Surgical simulators provide a safe environment to learn and practise psychomotor skills. A goal for these simulators is to achieve high levels of fidelity. The purpose of this study was to develop a reliable surgical simulator fidelity questionnaire and to assess whether a newly developed virtual haptic simulator for fixation of an ulna has comparable levels of fidelity as Sawbones. Methods:Simulator fidelity questionnaires were developed. We performed a stratified randomized study with surgical trainees. They performed fixation of the ulna using a virtual simulator and Sawbones. They completed the fidelity questionnaires after each procedure.Results: Twenty-two trainees participated in the study. The reliability of the fidelity questionnaire for each separate domain (environment, equipment, psychological) was Cronbach α greater than 0.70, except for virtual environment. The Sawbones had significantly higher levels of fidelity than the virtual simulator (p < 0.001) with a large effect size difference (Cohen d < 1.3). Conclusion:The newly developed fidelity questionnaire is a reliable tool that can potentially be used to determine the fidelity of other surgical simulators. Increasing the fidelity of this virtual simulator is required before its use as a training tool for surgical fixation. The virtual simulator brings with it the added benefits of repeated, independent safe use with immediate, objective feedback and the potential to alter the complexity of the skill.Contexte : Les simulateurs chirurgicaux offrent un environnement sécuritaire pour apprendre et pour exercer les habiletés psychomotrices. L'un des objectifs de ces simulateurs est de produire des degrés élevés de fidélité. Le but de cette étude était de mettre au point un questionnaire fiable sur la fidélité des simulateurs chirurgicaux et de vérifier si un nouveau simulateur virtuel, avec interface haptique, pour la fixation du cubitus présentait des taux de fidélité comparables à ceux du simulateur Sawbones.Méthodes : Des questionnaires sur la fidélité des simulateurs ont été préparés. Nous avons procédé à une étude randomisée stratifiée auprès de stagiaires en chirurgie qui ont effectué une fixation du cubitus à l'aide du simulateur virtuel et à l'aide du simulateur Sawbones. Ils ont répondu au questionnaire sur la fidélité après chaque intervention.Résultats : Vingt-deux stagiaires ont participé à l'étude. La fiabilité du questionnaire sur la fidélité pour chaque domaine distinct (environnement, équipement, dimension psychologique) correspondait à un coefficient α Cronbach supérieur à 0,70, sauf pour ce qui est de l'environnement virtuel. Le simulateur Sawbones a présenté des taux de fidélité significativement plus élevés que le simulateur virtuel (p < 0,001), avec une différence importante au plan de la taille de l'effet (indice d de Cohen < 1,3). Conclusion :Le nouveau questionnaire sur la fidélité s'est révélé un outil fiable qui peut servir à déterminer le degré de fidélité d'autres simulateurs chirurgicaux. Il faudra améliorer la ...
