Teleteaching on Clinical Procedural Skills

Online Teleteaching and Teleassessment on Clinical Procedural Skills Via Multiscreen Display Layout: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study

This study aims to develop a model of teleteaching and teleassessment for clinical procedural skills, consisted of teleteaching design making and teleteaching intervention was conducted in September 2020 - February 2021 at a tertiary center Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital/ Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Educational Problems; Competence
• Intervention / Treatment: Behavioral: Teleteaching of procedural skills through the online multiscreen display teleconference platform

Detailed Description

Six plastic surgery residents and 12 general practitioners voluntarily participated in 3 different workshops. Three workshops on different procedural skill sets were conducted by including surgical knotting skills, suturing techniques and basic laparoscopic hand-eye coordination skills. A group of participants learned the skills on site, while another group joined the workshop synchronously through the online multiscreen display teleconference platform. The teaching effectiveness was assessed using pre-post written test, OSATS, GRS and self-efficacy. Online skills teleassessment was also compared to the asynchronous assessment based on pre-recorded videos.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort	Intervention / Treatment
Traditional teaching; A group of participants learned the skills on site
Teleteaching; A group of participant who joined the workshop synchronously through the online multiscreen display teleconference platform	Behavioral: Teleteaching of procedural skills through the online multiscreen display teleconference platform; Teleteaching of procedural skills include three different techniques through three different workshops. Each of the workshops was delivered by a respected expert faculty and then accompanied by skills assessment subsequently. Three different group of learners joined the workshops on knotting skills, suturing skills and laparoscopic hand-eye coordination skills respectively.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Multiscreen display layouts created from multicamera configurations	A set of configuration of multiscreen display layout was arranged using 3 different cameras to represent 3 different point of views, which accommodated the 1st person view, and two different angles of the 3rd person view	2 months
Pre-post written test scores	Pre-post written tests consisted of questions based on the teaching materials, used specifically to assess participants' knowledge	Through study completion, an average of 6 weeks
Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) Score	Checklisted-points which assessed each participants' performance while doing each procedural skills, such as	Through study completion, an average of 6 weeks
Global Rating Scale (GRS)	Consisted of 8 points which assessed each participants' overall performance: professional attitude, timing and movement, correct use of the model, flow, appropriate aseptic techique, overall performance, and final outcome	Through study completion, an average of 6 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Self Efficacy Scale	Consisted of points in which the participants' rated their condifence and performance after doing the procedures	Through study completion, an average of 6 weeks
