ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
One of the major impediments to the proliferation of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) training in Western countries is the lack of sufficient experts as instructors. One way to address this gap is to develop didactic systems, such as surgical simulators, to support the role of trainers. Cognitive task analysis (CTA) has been used in healthcare for the design and improvement of surgical training programs, and therefore can potentially be used for design of similar systems for ESD.OBJECTIVE:
The aim of the study was to apply a CTA-based approach to identify the cognitive aspects of performing ESD, and to generate qualitative insights for training. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Semi-structured interviews were designed based on the CTA framework to elicit knowledge of ESD practitioners relating to the various tasks involved in the procedure. Three observations were conducted of expert ESD trainers either while they performed actual ESD procedures or at a training workshop. Interviews were either conducted over the phone or in person. Interview participants included four experts and four novices. The observation notes and interviews were analyzed for emergent qualitative themes and relationships.RESULTS:
The qualitative analysis yielded thematic insights related to four main cognition-related categories learning goals/principles, challenges/concerns, strategies, and decision-making. The specific insights under each of these categories were systematically mapped to the various tasks inherent to the ESD procedure.CONCLUSIONS:
The CTA approach was applied to identify cognitive themes related to ESD procedural tasks. Insights developed based on the qualitative analysis of interviews and observations of ESD practitioners can be used to inform the design of ESD training systems, such as virtual reality-based simulators.Palabras clave
