Surgeons value peer-to-peer video coaching for improving laparoscopic skills and self-reflection. Addressing logistical barriers and integrating coaching into professional development can enhance surgeon participation and skill improvement.
Area of Science:
- Surgical Education
- Qualitative Research
- Health Professions Education
Background:
- Limited opportunities exist for surgeons to receive post-training technical skills feedback.
- A peer-to-peer video-based coaching initiative was developed to enhance laparoscopic right colectomy skills.
- This study presents a qualitative evaluation of the video-based coaching initiative.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate a video-based peer-coaching initiative for surgeons.
- To identify surgeon motivations for participating in video-based coaching.
- To understand barriers and facilitators to surgeon engagement in video-based coaching.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative study involving focus groups and semistructured interviews with participating surgeons.
- Analysis of transcripts and observational notes using an organizational behavior framework.
- Observation of a group video-review session by qualitative researchers.
Main Results:
- Surgeons were motivated by opportunities for learning, skill improvement, self-reflection, and benchmarking.
- Key barriers included logistical challenges with equipment and scheduling, time commitment, and cultural perceptions of coaching.
- Surgeons recognized the value of self and peer video assessment for skill enhancement.
Conclusions:
- Video-based peer-coaching offers a valuable platform for surgeon reflection, benchmarking, and personalized feedback.
- Increased participation and sustained involvement require addressing logistical barriers and enhancing program acceptability.
- Integrating video-based coaching into existing surgical conferences and professional development programs is recommended.
