Abstract

Background: This study aimed to develop and validate a virtual reality (VR) simulation-based test for assessing laparoscopic camera navigation skills, using Messick's contemporary framework to gather validity evidence and establish an evidence-based pass/fail standard.

Methods: The test was developed through consensus among surgical experts and included eight clinically relevant metrics. A total of 24 participants, comprising 12 novice medical students and 12 experienced surgical residents, were recruited.

Results: The test demonstrated high internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.88) and test-retest reliability (Pearson's r = 0.84). Significant differences in performance were observed between novices (51.8 ± 13.9) and experienced participants (81.7 ± 6.0, p < 0.001), indicating strong discriminative ability.A pass/fail score of 70% was established using the contrasting groups' method, with one novice passing and no experienced participants failing. Participants perceived the simulator as realistic and beneficial for skill improvement, though experienced participants were less inclined to use it for further practice.

Conclusions: The study concludes that the VR laparoscopic camera navigation test provides a valid and reliable tool for training and assessing surgical assistants, supporting its integration into mastery learning programs to ensure proficiency before clinical practice.

利用虚拟现实模拟来确保新手术助理的腹腔镜摄像机导航技能-一项验证研究。

背景：本研究旨在开发和验证基于虚拟现实（VR）模拟的测试，以评估腹腔镜摄像机导航技能，使用Messick的当代框架来收集有效性证据并建立基于证据的通过/不通过标准。方法：该测试是通过外科专家的共识制定的，包括八个临床相关指标。共招募了24名参与者，包括12名新医学生和12名有经验的外科住院医师。结果：本检验具有较高的内部一致性信度（Cronbach’s α = 0.88）和重测信度（Pearson’s r = 0.84）。新手（51.8±13.9）和经验丰富的参与者（81.7±6.0）之间的表现差异显著，p。结论：研究认为VR腹腔镜相机导航测试为培训和评估手术助理提供了有效可靠的工具，支持其融入掌握学习计划，以确保临床实践前的熟练程度。
