ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The implementation of simulation-based training (SBT) to teach flexible bronchoscopy (FB) skills to novice trainees has increased during the last decade. However, it is unknown whether SBT is effective to teach FB to novices and which instructional features contribute to training effectiveness. RESEARCH QUESTION How effective is FB SBT and which instructional features contribute to training effectiveness? STUDY DESIGN ANDMETHODS:
We searched Embase, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science for articles on FB SBT for novice trainees, considering all available literature until November 10, 2022. We assessed methodological quality of included studies using a modified version of the Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument, evaluated risk of bias with relevant tools depending on study design, assessed instructional features, and intended to correlate instructional features to outcome measures.RESULTS:
We identified 14 studies from an initial pool of 544 studies. Eleven studies reported positive effects of FB SBT on most of their outcome measures. However, risk of bias was moderate or high in eight studies, and only six studies were of high quality (modified Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument score ≥ 12.5). Moreover, instructional features and outcome measures varied highly across studies, and only four studies evaluated intervention effects on behavioral outcome measures in the patient setting. All of the simulation training programs in studies with the highest methodological quality and most relevant outcome measures included curriculum integration and a range in task difficulty.INTERPRETATION:
Although most studies reported positive effects of simulation training programs on their outcome measures, definitive conclusions regarding training effectiveness on actual bronchoscopy performance in patients could not be made because of heterogeneity of training features and the sparse evidence of training effectiveness on validated behavioral outcome measures in a patient setting.
