Construction and validation of a laparoscopic skills assessment system based on entrustable professional activities
基于置信职业行为(entrustable professional activities,EPAs),构建并验证胜任力导向的腹腔镜技能ECM考评体系(ECM system for assessment of laparoscopic skills,ESALS)。
方法
2
成立由5家医疗机构15名成员组成的研究小组,以腹腔镜技能阶段式培训课程(staged training and assessment of laparoscopic skills,STALS)为EPAs蓝本,综合运用范围综述、行为事件访谈和K-J法构建ESALS。对49名学员和10名专科医师(包括5名新手和5名专家)分别进行基础技能和高级技能评价,并与基础腹腔镜技能训练评估(training and assessment of basic laparoscopic techniques,TABLT)和全球腹腔镜手术技能评估(global operative assessment of laparoscopic skills,GOALS)等评估工具对比分析。运用SPSS 23.0软件进行Mann-Whitney
To construct and validate a competency-oriented entrustable professional activities (EPAs)-Competency-Milestones system for assessment of laparoscopic skills (ESALS).
Methods
2
A research team composed of 15 members from five medical institutions was established. Taking the Staged Training and Assessment of Laparoscopic Skills program as the basis for EPAs
ESALS was constructed through scoping review and behavioral event interviews and the use of the Kawakita Jiro method. ESALS was applied to evaluate 49 trainees and 10 specialists (including 5 novices and 5 experts) on basic and advanced laparoscopic skills
respectively
in comparison with two other assessment tools—the Training and Assessment of Basic Laparoscopic Techniques (TABLT) and the Global Operative Assessment of Laparoscopic Skills (GOALS). Perform Mann Whitney U test using SPSS 23.0 software
and use Spearman coefficient for correlation analysis.
Results
2
Through reviewing 13 literuature articles and interviewing 10 senior sur
geons
the ESALS was developed
comprising 10 EPAs
8 dimensions of competency characteristics
and 5 entrustable levels. In the basic skills evaluation
the ESALS score was significantly positively correlated with the TABLT score (
R
=0.881
P
<
0.001). In the advanced skills evaluation
significant differences were observed between the novice and expert groups in all the ESALS competency scores (all
P
<
0.05)
while no difference was detected in the GOALS score of tissue handling ability.
Conclusions
2
ESALS provides comprehensive evaluation
detailed standards
and precise feedback
with comparable efficacy to conventional tools. Future work should focus on expanding sample size to verify its generalizability and developing an electronic tool to enhance application efficiency.
