Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Skills Training
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Traditional surgical skills training relies on observation, leading to inconsistent proficiency.
  • Limited faculty availability and the COVID-19 pandemic hinder traditional medical student training.
  • Existing online courses lack practical, hands-on technical training components.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and usability of web-based peer-learning for advanced suturing techniques using the Gamified Educational Network (GEN).
  • To assess medical students' ability to identify and perform running subcuticular sutures.
  • To measure student satisfaction with the GEN learning tool.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective randomized controlled trial with blinded expert examiners involving first-year medical students.
  • Four groups: control, self-learning, peer-learning, and peer-learning with expert feedback (15 participants each).
  • Intervention involves learning running subcuticular sutures via GEN videos, with pre/post-intervention skill assessment using standardized scales (OSATS, SCS).

Main Results:

  • The study is approved by the institutional review board and adheres to the Declaration of Helsinki.
  • No participants have been recruited yet; data collection is pending.
  • The primary outcome is the change in students' ability to identify and perform the correct suturing technique.

Conclusions:

  • Web-based peer-learning via GEN can address limitations in surgical education caused by the pandemic and faculty shortages.
  • This innovative approach has the potential to reduce anxiety associated with traditional suturing classes.
  • The study aims to establish a sustainable method for enhancing surgical skills education in medical faculties.
