MEDICAL UNIVERSITY PLOVDIV
PROJECT 2008-1-BG1-LEO05-00454/LLP Leonardo da Vinci Transfer of Innovation.
ENDOSCOPIC CARPAL TUNNEL RELEASE
PROJECT OBJECTIVES:
Need analysis - identifying and analyzing requirements of orthopaedic surgeons, anesthesiologists, medical and technical stuff in Bulgaria, Ireland and Greece
Selecting and analyzing innovative content to meet these requirements
Transferring the PSS approach in medical training and developing an intelligent medical performance support environment for surgery training
Pilot test of the system
WORK PROGRAMME OF MEDICAL UNIVERSITY PLOVDIV: Need analysis Selection and adaptation of course content Development of a course on ENDOSCOPIC
CARPAL TUNNEL RELEASE Pilot test of the system including usability tests Dissemination of project results Exploitation – implementation of the course in the
regular training and teaching activities of Medical University Plovdiv and in long term in the lifelong learning e-health national environment.
PURPOSES OF NEED ANALYSIS Identify and analyse user requirements and
training needs on innovative eLearning materials and problem-based learning skills in endoscopic carpal tunnel release
Collect information directly related to the nature of the interactive multimedia products
INSTRUMENTATION OF NEED ANALYSIS
Questionnairies The questionnaires were published on the
Web site of SurveyMonkey.com, printed versions were distributed to orthopaedic surgeons and residents on daily morning conferences. Partners from the University of Cork and Vita Hospital were asked to make the survey. 34 people made the survey and 31 finished it.
NEED ANALYSIS RECOMMENDATIONS Specify clearly defined objectives before the
training begins Follow a series of defined steps to reach the
level of competence Base training of medical skills on problem
based learning approach and real time feedback
Assessment criteria should be specified as part of the training process
RESULTS OF NEED ANALYSIS Medical University – Plovdiv, Bulgaria
presented the analysis of specific requirements of orthopaedic surgeons with regard to the content and techniques for delivery of training materials in the OnLineOrtho system in Bulgaria
Surgeons need courses providing knowledge about new surgical techniques that are used in daily practice
MODULES
Module 1: CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME - TREATMENT METHOD CHOICE
Module 2: ENDOSCOPIC CARPAL TUNNEL RELEASE TECHNIQUE
Module 1 Task 1: DISCUSS FUNDAMENTALS OF CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
Task description: Discuss etiology, natural history, and complications
of carpal tunnel syndrome - the most common entrapment neuropathy.
Instructions: 1. Define carpal tunnel syndrome
2. Identify causes and associated disorders3. Describe clinical symptoms and signs4. Describe diagnostic tests5. Discuss carpal tunnel anatomy6. Describe median nerve within the carpal tunnel
Module 1 Task 2: COMPARE METHODS OF CARPAL TUNNEL RELEASE Task description: Identify the treatment methods of carpal tunnel
syndrome, and compare surgical release procedures.
Instructions: 1. Discuss conservative treatment.
2. Discuss conventional carpal tunnel release.3. Discuss endoscopic carpal tunnel release with 2 incisions.4. Discuss single portal endoscopic carpal tunnel release.5. Compare endoscopic vs open surgery.
Module 2 Task 1: DISCUSS FUNDAMENTALS OF THE SINGLE PORTAL ENDOSCOPIC
CARPAL TUNNEL RELEASE TECHNIQUE Task description: Describe the fundamentals and define the steps of the single
portal endoscopic carpal tunnel release technique. Instructions: 1. Define the steps of the single portal endoscopic carpal tunnel
release technique. 2. Identify major superficial anatomical landmarks. 3. Identify major endoscopic landmarks. 4. Watch the video and define the steps of the technique. 5. Define the instrumentation necessary for the endoscopic
surgical procedure.
Module 2 Task 2: CHOICE OF METHOD OF TREATMENT FOR CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME Task description: Describe the objectives of choice of method of
treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. Instructions: 1. Discuss options for conservative treatment. 2. Describe surgical treatment fundamentals,
regardless of the specific surgical technique. 3. Discuss perioperative treatment. 4. Describe outcome options based on choice of
method of treatment.
AIM OF THE PILOT TEST
To examine the functionality and usability of: IPSS e-learning material
To elicit the attitudes of the users To explore satisfaction of the organizations
involved To identify relevant information from existing
and new resources that can provide further feedback to developers to improve the system
PARTICIPANTS IN THE PILOT TEST 7 RESIDENTS IN ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY 7 ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEONS PLACE: MEDICAL UNIVERSITY PLOVDIV,
DEPARTMENT OF ORTHOPAEDICS AND TRAUMATOLOGY
PILOT TEST ORGANISED BY: Dr. Keti Tokmakova and Dr. Petar Molchovski
QUESTIONAIRE CREATED BY: Dr. Gabrielle Iohom
EVALUATION OF PILOT TEST Measurement Instrument: developed and elaborated by Cork
University Hospital, Ireland in collaboration with the coordinators of the program (University of Thessalia, Greece,BIOMED, Greece, DIPSEIL group, Bulgaria)
Evaluation of the following elements: performance support and its aspects usability of the system attitudes of the users regarding the online learning environment organization of the learning tasks the overall performance support environment considering the
individual learning and practicing process
RESULTS OF PILOT TEST
Users were satisfied with the
Simplicity
Efficiency and
Usability of the system
RESULTS OF PILOT TEST
System was considered
well-organized
user-friendly
substantially supportive and
well-defined in its contents and procedures
CONCLUSIONS OF PILOT TEST Respondents seemed to favor the internet-based learning
approach
Users were satisfied with how information and images were presented on screen, and the whole configuration of the system
System provides adequate, clear and precise information
Incorporating different aspects in the process of exploring and studying the particular subject matter with inclusive and easy to find information was highly acknowledged
