ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Few studies have analyzed the effect of the size of the working space in training on the acquisition of endoscopic skills. In this study, adult- and infant-sized dry boxes (DBs) were used to verify how the size of the working space in training affects forceps manipulation and learning curve. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
Seventy-two medical students were enrolled. The task was peg transfer. The training environment was divided into adult- and infant-sized DBs. Skill evaluations were also divided into adult- and infant-sized DBs (four groups in total). The forceps manipulation characteristics and task completion time were compared before and after training.RESULTS:
Regarding skill evaluations using adult-sized DBs, there were no significant differences between the infant- and adult-sized DB-trained groups. Regarding skill evaluations using infant-sized DBs, there were no significant differences between the groups before training. After training, there was no significant difference in the total path length or average acceleration of the forceps between the groups. However, the infant-sized DB-trained group had a significantly faster average forceps velocity and faster task completion time than the adult-sized DB-trained group.CONCLUSION:
Training with a small DB is more efficient in acquiring smoother and faster forceps manipulation in a small working space.Palabras clave
