Simulation is emerging as an essential part of health sciences training programs as it provides safer patient care by reducing the risk of error. In the healthcare environment, simulation continues to spread in emergency specialties, but it is still underdeveloped in ophthalmology and there is a shortage of publications on this subject in Tunisia.
To evaluate the effectiveness of procedural simulation as a teaching tool for funduscopic examination training. Methods and population studied: This was a prospective study including students who underwent procedural simulation training sessions during their ophthalmology internship. The included students were assessed at the initiation and end of each session by a pre-test and post-test. The procedure for performing the funduscopic examination was evaluated by a specific performance score. Student satisfaction was assessed at the end of each session.
During the study period, four groups of 12 students were included, for a total of 48 participants spread over 4 simulation sessions. Simulation training improved post-test. assessment scores with an overall median delta of +4.00. It also provided specific skills for performing the funduscopic examination, with an overall median specific performance score of 5.5/8 (5/8 to 7/8). The majority of students were satisfied upon completion of the simulation session.
The training of fundus examination using an ophthalmoscopic simulator can improve the skills and knowledge of ophthalmic learners. This type of training can be an innovative addition to traditional learning.
模拟作为一种健康科学培训计划的重要组成部分正在兴起，因为它通过降低错误风险为患者提供更安全的护理。在医疗环境中，模拟在急救专业中继续普及，但在眼科中仍不发达，突尼斯在该主题上的出版物也很少。
评估程序模拟作为眼底镜检查培训教学工具的有效性。方法和研究人群：这是一项前瞻性研究，包括在眼科实习期间接受程序模拟培训课程的学生。包括的学生在每次课程开始和结束时通过前测和后测进行评估。眼底镜检查的程序通过特定的表现评分进行评估。在每次课程结束时评估学生的满意度。
在研究期间，共有 48 名参与者被分为 4 组，每组 12 名学生，共进行了 4 次模拟课程。模拟培训提高了后测评估分数，总体中位数差值为+4.00。它还提供了进行眼底镜检查的特定技能，总体中位数特定表现评分为 5.5/8（5/8 至 7/8）。大多数学生在完成模拟课程后感到满意。
使用眼底镜模拟器进行眼底检查培训可以提高眼科学习者的技能和知识。这种类型的培训可以成为传统学习的创新补充。
