Study 4: Basic Bronchoscopy Competence Achieved by a Nationwide One-day Simulation-based Training

DOI

Short description of the study This study evaluated the effectiveness of a 1-day flexible bronchoscopy simulation-based training program that was implemented across 7 different simulation centers in the Netherlands. Participants first performed a pre-test, consisting of two simulator tasks (Task 1 and Task 2). Then they practiced their bronchoscopy skills under supervision of an experienced pulmonologist. At the end of the day, participants performed a post-test. Outcome measures were simulator metrics of Task 1, procedure time of Task 2 and observational assessment tool scores of participants’ performance of Task 2. Additionally, participants’ dexterity was rated by a blinded experts by means of video recordings of their scope handling. Short description of the data file The “240320 N100 Final dataset.sav” file contains the whole dataset, with participant age, gender, simulation experience, endoscopy experience, gaming experience and all outcome measures. In the Variable View the Value Labels (i.e. 0 = male, 1 = female, 0 = no gaming experience, etc.) can be found.

Overview of parameters in the .sav file, pre = pretest, post = posttest. For the assessment tools (Supplemental Digital Content 1 and Supplemental Digital Content 2): Higher scores indicate a better performance (i.e. 3 for R_Anatomy_pre means all segments in the right lung correctly named, 1 for R_Anatomy_pre means 2 or more segments in the right lung incorrectly named).
