This study aimed to assess the transferability of basic laparoscopic skills between a virtual reality simulator (MIST-VR) and a video trainer box (D-Box).
Forty-six medical students were randomized into 2 groups, training on MIST-VR or D-Box. After training with one modality, a crossover assessment on the other was performed.
When tested on MIST-VR, the MIST-VR group showed significantly shorter time (90.3 seconds vs 188.6 seconds, P <.001), better economy of movements (4.40 vs 7.50, P <.001), and lower score (224.7 vs 527.0, P <.001). However, when assessed on the D-Box, there was no difference between the groups for time (402.0 seconds vs 325.6 seconds, P = .152), total hand movements (THC) (289 vs 262, P = .792), or total path length (TPL) (34.9 m vs 34.6 m, P = .388).
Both simulators provide significant improvement in performance. Our results indicate that skills learned on the MIST-VR are transferable to the D-Box, but the opposite cannot be demonstrated.
本研究旨在评估虚拟现实模拟器(MIST-VR)和视频训练箱(D-Box)之间基本腹腔镜技能的可转移性。
46名医学生被随机分为两组,分别在MIST-VR或D-Box上进行训练。在使用一种方式训练后,对另一种方式进行交叉评估。
在MIST-VR上测试时,MIST-VR组的时间显著更短(90.3秒对188.6秒,P<.001),动作经济性更好(4.40对7.50,P<.001),得分更低(224.7对527.0,P<.001)。然而,在D-Box上评估时,两组在时间(402.0秒对325.6秒,P=.152)、总手部动作(THC)(289对262,P=.792)或总路径长度(TPL)(34.9米对34.6米,P=.388)方面没有差异。
两种模拟器都能显著提高操作性能。我们的结果表明,在MIST-VR上学到的技能可转移到D-Box,但反之则无法证明。
