Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Simulation-Based Training
  • Wilderness Medicine

Background:

  • Fishhook injuries are common but often lack dedicated removal training in medical education.
  • Existing simulation models for fishhook removal are limited by cost, realism, and material accessibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the gap in fishhook injury training by providing a hands-on simulation session.
  • To enhance participants' ability to describe fishhook anatomy and perform removal techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized social learning theory for a small group session focused on fishhook removal.
  • Employed commercially available silicone sponge injection pad trainers for hands-on skill development.
  • Assessed self-reported confidence and perceived effectiveness via surveys and paired t-tests.

Main Results:

  • Average self-reported confidence in fishhook removal increased by 58% (p<0.005).
  • The simulation achieved a mean effectiveness rating of 87%.
  • Participants perceived the monetary value of simulation materials to be higher than their actual cost.

Conclusions:

  • This cost-friendly innovation provides effective education and practice for fishhook removal.
  • The simulation enhances participant confidence and efficiency in managing fishhook injuries.
  • Increased proficiency in fishhook removal can lead to better patient outcomes with minimal tissue damage.
