Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Reduced hands-on experience hinders surgical trainees' complex decision-making skills.
  • Cognitive task analysis (CTA) training extracts and transfers expert cognitive processes to novices.
  • CTA application in surgery is emerging, with prior success in aviation and military sectors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review evidence on the efficacy of CTA-based training for surgical procedural skills and knowledge acquisition.
  • To evaluate if CTA training enhances surgical trainees' performance compared to conventional methods.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review following PRISMA guidelines.
  • Searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane CENTRAL databases.
  • Included randomized controlled trials and observational studies; meta-analysis used a random-effects model.

Main Results:

  • 12 studies met inclusion criteria, involving surgical trainees and medical students.
  • CTA-based training significantly enhanced procedural knowledge (SMD 1.36) and technical performance (SMD 2.06) in surgical trainees.
  • Improvements were compared to conventional training methods.

Conclusions:

  • Cognitive task analysis-based training is an effective method for surgical education.
  • CTA training enhances the acquisition of cognitive skills essential for surgical procedures.
  • It serves as a valuable adjunct to existing surgical training programs.
