About this study
Official title: Video Coaching as an Efficient Teaching Method for Surgical Residents A Randomized Control Trial
The purpose of this study is to determine if video coaching is an efficient way of teaching surgical skills outside of the operating room for surgical residents.
Read the detailed description
Coaching relates to a cooperative process between a coach and a coachee, which includes "providing objective and constructive feedback to help a [coachee] recognize what works and what can be improved.
In our study the investigators will be filming general surgery residents while making a side to side anastomosis on a dog's cadaveric small bowel. Half of the participants will be randomized in the intervention group and will take part in a half hour coaching session with a surgeon. In this coaching session both resident and surgeon will watch the resident's filmed anastomosis and constructive feedback will be given by the surgeon. An inanimate model of bowel anastomosis will be available at the moment of the coaching to allow the surgeon to demonstrate the desired improvements.
Once all the residents in the intervention group will have completed their coaching session, both control and intervention group will be filmed making a second side to side anastomosis.
All the video taken will then be pooled in a random order. A blinded surgeon will then analyse each video taken with the objective structured assessment of technical skills (OSATS) tool.
The hypothesis is that the residents who received an half-hour coaching session will have significantly improved their OSATS score compared to the control group between the first and second anastomosis.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Video coaching sessionBehavioural
A 30 minute video coaching session with a surgeon in witch the residaent and coach visualise the filmed anastomosis and where the surgeon gives constructive feedback.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Video coaching | Experimental | 14 residents in general surgery from PGY-1(post graduate year-1) to PGY-4 Block randomized to the intervention group who will receive a 30 minute video coaching session as the intervention Receives: Behavioral: Video coaching session |
| Control | No intervention | 14 residents in general surgery from PGY-1 to PGY-4 block randomized to the control group |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in (Objective structured assessment of technical skills) OSATS score at baseline and after the coaching session.
Measured: assessed at both first and second filmed anastomosis for both groups with about 1 month apart.
Secondary outcomes (1)
Resident satisfaction questionnaire
Questionnaire aiming to know if video coaching is something the participants think is useful.
Measured: Once every resident has completed his coaching session about two weeks after the first anastomosis.

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in (Objective structured assessment of technical skills) OSATS score at baseline and after the coaching session. (time frame: assessed at both first and second filmed anastomosis for both groups with about 1 month apart.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02529254, which also lists 4 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
