Neurosurgery is considered a technically demanding specialty; nonetheless, it also requires non-technical skills (NTSs) to reach mastery.
This study seeks to understand how important NTSs are perceived by neurosurgeons across diverse roles and socio-economic backgrounds. The objective is to identify key NTSs and explore their role in surgical precision, teamwork, and collaboration.
An international survey involving 372 neurosurgeons from various socio-economic and cultural contexts was conducted. The extensive sample and inclusive methodology provide a comprehensive perspective on the perceived importance of NTSs in neurosurgery.
The survey results highlight the universal significance of NTSs among neurosurgeons. Attention to detail, humility, and self-awareness are considered essential for surgical precision, effective teamwork, and collaboration. The findings underscore the necessity for integrated training programs that combine NTSs with technical skills.
The study emphasizes the importance of effective training methods such as simulations, mentorship, and role-playing in equipping neurosurgeons to navigate the complexities of their profession. Future research should focus on optimizing teaching methods for NTSs, comparing traditional courses, online modules, and hybrid training programs. Addressing the global disparity in neurosurgical care, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, is crucial for improving patient outcomes worldwide.
神经外科被认为是一个对技术要求很高的专业；尽管如此，要达到精通还需要非技术技能（NTSs）。
本研究旨在了解不同角色和社会经济背景的神经外科医生如何看待NTSs的重要性。目的是确定关键的NTSs，并探讨它们在手术精准度、团队合作和协作中的作用。
开展了一项国际调查，涉及来自不同社会经济和文化背景的372名神经外科医生。广泛的样本和包容性的方法为NTSs在神经外科中的重要性提供了全面的视角。
调查结果凸显了NTSs在神经外科医生中的普遍重要性。注重细节、谦逊和自我意识被认为对手术精准度、有效的团队合作和协作至关重要。研究结果强调了将NTSs与技术技能相结合的综合培训项目的必要性。
该研究强调了模拟、指导和角色扮演等有效培训方法在使神经外科医生应对其职业复杂性方面的重要性。未来的研究应侧重于优化NTSs的教学方法，比较传统课程、在线模块和混合培训项目。解决神经外科护理方面的全球差距，特别是在低收入和中等收入国家，对于改善全球患者的治疗效果至关重要。
