Different Modalities For Acquisition Of Better Suturing Skills- A Comparative Study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 9
Abstract
A very common occurrence in medical colleges nowadays is finding junior resident struggling to perform even a basic surgical procedure. Workshop based learning or Simulation-based learning in surgery is a learning model where an environment similar to real life surgical situation is created for the trainee to learn various surgical skills. In this study my objectives were to compare the effectiveness of video assisted and simulator based learning in teaching suturing skills to the students, to compare the knowledge regarding the sutures and suturing methods and to assess student’s perception towards these methods. Study design was experimental study and on considering the results students who were exposed to video based learning scored better in the post-test MCQ’s when compared to the other. On accessing the suturing skills by modified Global rating scale for suturing not much significant difference was seen between two groups. On considering certain factors in Global rating scale, students who attended VBL scored better in appropriate aseptic technique and disposal of equipment. Correct use of instruments and correct suture pattern and technique was better demonstrated by students who attended WBL. So I wish to conduct a mixed type of WBL and VBL in teaching suturing to my students.
