Distance Education for Basic Surgical Skills Using Homemade Tools—DIY Methods for Emergency Situations
The aim of our research was to establish a reproducible curriculum that offers the possibility to gain basic surgical skills (knot tying, suturing, laparoscopy basics) through distance education in emergency situations by using tools available in the household. Forty-six volunteering third- and fourth-year medical students were involved in the study. The distance education system was set up using homemade or easily obtainable tools (an empty can, shoe box, sponge, etc.) to teach surgical knotting, suturing, and basic laparoscopic skills. The reachable learning objectives were contrasted with the original course plan. Feedback from the students has been collected. The students’ results were compared to the regular course of the previous years. Seventy-nine percent of the original learning objectives could be reached completely, and 15% partially. The necessary tools were available for 82% of the students. The students evaluated the course for 4.26 in general and 4.86 considering the circumstances (on a 5-level-scale). The homemade trainers were assessed over four as an acceptable substitution. Students’ exam results decreased only by 7% compared to the previous two years. Basic surgical skills can be educated with acceptable efficiency and student satisfaction using distance teaching and homemade tools. This is the first study where not only the simulators but the surgical instruments were replaced with household tools and evaluated by a reproducible curriculum.
