Lumbar spinal ultrasonography is an important tool used by pain physicians and anaesthesiologists to perform pain-related scanning, interventional treatments and anaesthesia in clinical practice. However, ultrasound images of the lumbar spine are complex and numerous. Moreover, long learning curves are necessary for novice physicians to memorise, master and apply this modality in their clinical practice. This study will use our team's recent teaching research achievement, the 'spinal ultrasound route map', as a teaching tool to comprehensively compare learning effectiveness and satisfaction between novices learning with or without this route map. The appropriate time point at which to introduce the route map in the teaching process will also be evaluated.
This randomised, controlled teaching study with a target sample size of 40 clinicians will be carried out at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Eligible participants will be randomly allocated to group 1 or group 2. Participants in group 1 will receive traditional lumbar ultrasonography training, followed by teaching with the route map. Participants in group 2 will receive training directly with the route map. There will be questionnaires, timed tests and gradings from teachers throughout the training process. The data will be collected via the Q1, Q2 and Q3 questionnaires and the timed test. The primary outcome is the composite learning score, which will be measured when group 1 participants fill out questionnaire Q2 after traditional training and group 2 participants fill out questionnaire Q3 after training with the route map. The secondary outcomes will include the composite learning score at different time points, the results of the timed test, grading scale scores from teachers and the participants' satisfaction with the route map.
This study received authorisation from the Institutional Review Board on 11 April 2024. The study findings will be disseminated through presentations at scientific conferences or publications in peer-reviewed journals.

腰椎超声检查是疼痛医师和麻醉师在临床实践中进行疼痛相关扫描、介入治疗和麻醉的重要工具。然而,腰椎超声图像复杂且数量众多。此外,新手医生需要花费很长的时间来记忆、掌握和应用这种模式。本研究将使用我们团队最近的教学研究成果——“脊柱超声路线图”作为教学工具,全面比较有或没有该路线图的新手医生的学习效果和满意度。还将评估在教学过程中引入路线图的适当时间点。
这项随机、对照教学研究的目标样本量为 40 名临床医生,将在北京协和医院进行。合格的参与者将被随机分配到第 1 组或第 2 组。第 1 组参与者将接受传统的腰椎超声检查培训,然后接受路线图教学。第 2 组参与者将直接接受路线图培训。整个培训过程中会有问卷、计时测试和教师评分。数据将通过 Q1、Q2 和 Q3 问卷和计时测试收集。主要结果是综合学习评分,第 1 组参与者在完成传统培训后的 Q2 问卷和第 2 组参与者在使用路线图培训后的 Q3 问卷时进行测量。次要结果将包括不同时间点的综合学习评分、计时测试结果、教师评分量表评分以及参与者对路线图的满意度。
本研究于 2024 年 4 月 11 日获得机构审查委员会的授权。研究结果将通过科学会议上的演讲或同行评议期刊上的出版物进行传播。
