Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Medical Simulation
  • Virtual Reality Technology

Background:

  • Postgraduate surgical training faces challenges in skill acquisition due to reduced operative time and evolving training models.
  • Virtual reality (VR) simulators present a potential solution to supplement traditional surgical education methods.
  • Integration of VR simulators into routine surgical training programs requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the experiences and motivations of general surgery trainees using a VR laparoscopic simulator.
  • To understand factors influencing trainee engagement with VR simulation in a structured program.

Main Methods:

  • A qualitative case study methodology was employed with 22 general surgery trainees over 3 months.
  • Data collection included questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and simulator performance metrics.
  • Thematic analysis of qualitative data and descriptive statistics of quantitative data were used for triangulation.

Main Results:

  • Trainee engagement with VR simulators was influenced by ease of access, session frequency, performance goals, and ARCP oversight.
  • Simulation can effectively supplement traditional surgical training when integrated into practice.
  • Addressing barriers like time constraints and access is crucial for broader VR simulation application.

Conclusions:

  • Targeted strategies are necessary to enhance the use of VR simulation as an adjunct to traditional surgical training.
  • Further research is needed to optimize the implementation of simulation in surgical education.
  • VR simulation holds potential to improve surgical skill acquisition when barriers are overcome.
