Mixed Method Study Protocol_Cognitive Non-technical Skills Learning Module for a Safe Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Overview

A mixed-methods sequential explanatory design study. The first quantitative phase will be an online survey to surgeons that includes questions related to their experience learning and performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The second qualitative phase will use depth interview to elaborate surgeon's experience regarding a safe laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Bile duct injuries from laparoscopic cholecystectomy remain a significant source of morbidity and are often the result of intraoperative errors in perception, judgment, and decision-making. Cognitive non-technical skills namely situation awareness and decision-making skills are essential in doing a safe laparoscopic cholecystectomy, as in any kind of surgery. Studies regarding cognitive non-technical skills and how to teach them are still lacking, especially in the field of surgery. With this study, the investigators aim to formulate a comprehensive learning module for a safe laparoscopic cholecystectomy accomodating cognitive non-technical skills based on the surgeon's experience while learning and doing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
