Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: Approximately 80 percent of gynecologic operations performing with laparoscopy at present. In present study Laparoscopic skills index (LSI) builds with selection of item, method to scale responses, Design and choosing method. Reliability was evaluated by four raters reviewed 40 videotaped procedures. Cronbach's alpha was 0.95, which indicating a high level of internal consistency. A best measure of reliability coefficient for interrater reliability was 0.79 (95 % CI 0.56 to 0.90) which is considered to be very good. This result was attained after excluding one rater where a systematic bias was evident and LSI shown to be a suitable measure of level II gynecologic laparoscopic skill in the human setting. The LSI appears to have the properties of a unidimensional index in which the item variables are true components of the overall attribute. Keywords: Laparoscopic skills index (LSI), Reliability and Laparoscopy
