A pilot study to assess the construct and face validity of the Northwestern Objective Microanastomosis Assessment Tool

摘要: OBJECT Microsurgical skills remain an integral component of neurosurgical education. There is a need for objective scale to assess microsurgical skills. The this study was the face and construct validity benchtraining microanastomosis module assessment scale, i.e., Northwestern Objective Microanastomosis Assessment Tool (NOMAT). METHODS Medical students, residents, postdoctoral research fellows at University were enrolled in study. Trainees divided into 3 groups based on experience: 1) experienced, 2) exposed, 3) novices. Each trainee completed two end-to-end microanastomoses using 1-mm 3-mm synthetic vessel. Two cameras installed capture procedural footage. One neurosurgeon blindly graded performance trainees both subjective methods validity. neurosurgeons reviewed contents simulation RES...
