Box 1
Survey to compare the effectiveness of the porcine model versus TraumaMan for teaching ATLS surgical skills.
| For the surgical procedures please rate the educational effectiveness of the model in | | learning the skill using the following Likert Scale (1 = very poor, 2 = poor, | | 3 = satisfactory, 4 = very good, 5 = excellent) | | Recognizing the concerns for using animal models for learning surgical skills and the | | need to find a nonanimal model, please rate the degree to which you think the | | TraumaMan is a suitable model for learning surgical skills in the ATLS course. | | Please use the following Likert scale (1 = not suitable, 2 = acceptable, 3 = very | | acceptable, 4 = excellent) | | Would you recommend the TraumaMan as a substitute for the animal model? (Yes, | | Neutral, No) | | Overall, if there were no ethical or animal model concerns, which model will you | | recommend? | | Overall, considering all factors (animal concerns, suitability of the models, financial, | | etc.) which model would you recommend? |
