Non-Technical Skills Bingo-a game to facilitate the learning of complex concepts.

ABSTRACT: Acquiring the concepts of non-technical skills (NTS) beyond a superficial level is a challenge for healthcare professionals and simulation faculty. Current simulation-based approaches to teach NTS are challenged when learners have to master NTS concepts, clinically challenging situations, and simulation as a complex technique. The combination of all three aspects might overwhelm learners. To facilitate the deeper comprehension of NTS concepts, we describe an innovative video-based game, the Non-Technical Skills (NTS) Bingo. Participants get NTS Bingo cards that show five NTS elements each. While observing (non-medical) video clips, they try to find examples for the elements on their cards, typically observable behaviours that match a given element. After the video, participants "defend" their solution in a discussion with the game leader and other players. This discussion and the reflection aim to deepen the processing of the NTS concepts. We provide practical guidance for the conduct of NTS Bingo, including a selection of usable video clips and tips for the facilitated discussion after a clip. We use NTS in anaesthesia as example and provide guidance on how to adapt NTS Bingo to other disciplines. NTS Bingo is based on theoretical considerations on concept learning, which we describe to support the rationale for its conduct.

Project description:BackgroundThe issue of surgical safety has increased significantly over the last few decades. Several studies have established that it is linked to non-technical performance, rather than clinical competencies. Non-technical skills can be blended with technical training in the surgical profession to improve surgeons' abilities and enhance patient care and procedural skills. The main goal of this study was to determine orthopedic surgeons' requirements of non-technical skills, and to identify the most pressing issues.MethodsWe conducted a self-administered online questionnaire survey in this cross-sectional study. The questionnaire was piloted, validated, pretested, and clearly stated the study's purpose. After the pilot, minor wording and questions were clarified before starting the data collection. Orthopedic surgeons from the Middle East and Northern Africa were invited. The questionnaire was based on a five-point Likert scale, the data were analyzed categorically, and variables were summarized as descriptive statistics.ResultsOf the 1713 orthopedic surgeons invited, 60% completed the survey (1033 out of 1713). The majority demonstrated a high likelihood of participating in such activities in the future (80.5%). More than half (53%) of them preferred non-technical skills courses to be part of major orthopedic conferences, rather than independent courses. Most (65%) chose them to be face-to-face. Although 97.2% agreed on the importance of these courses, only 27% had attended similar courses in the last three years. Patient safety, infection prevention and control, and communication skills were ranked at the top as topics to be addressed. Moreover, participants indicated they would most likely attend courses on infection prevention and control, patient safety and teamwork, and team management.ConclusionThe results highlight the need for non-technical skills training in the region and the general preferences regarding modality and setting. These findings support the high demand from orthopedic surgeons' perspective to develop an educational program on non-technical skills.
