Virtual education is necessary to minimize teaching and assessment disruption.
Recently, medical education has faced significant challenges in training new residents during the 2019 coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). Several studies showed the need for a structured training program to minimize complications of chest tube insertion and enhance patient safety. However, it may be associated with severe complications. The insertion of a chest tube is part of the surgeons’ routine activities that are typically based on knowledge, practice, experience, and judgment. Based on our findings and similar studies, it can be concluded that the PAL program can increase the chest tube insertion skill of surgical residents. However, a comparison of mean Pre-TACTIC test scores and mean Post-TACTIC test scores between group A and group B showed that PAL effectiveness in group A was significantly higher (p=0.001) than group B.Ĭonclusion: There was a positive relationship between the PAL program and the improvement of chest tube insertion technical skills in surgical residents. Results: Post-TACTIC test score was significantly higher (p=0.001) than Pre-TACTIC test score in both groups. Chest tubes insertion skill was assessed using the tool for assessing chest tube insertion competency (TACTIC) test. All participants received adequate training for chest tube insertion by a recently graduated general surgeon.
Group A and B had six and one months of general surgery residency experience, respectively. They were divided into two learner groups (A and B) based on the period of residency start. Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental study conducted on thirty general surgeon residents enrolled in the PAL program. Objective: To investigate the impact of peer-assisted learning (PAL) in chest tube insertion education on surgical residents.
