Instructional design features in ultrasound‐guided regional anaesthesia simulation‐based training: a systematic review
Authors' conclusion
Ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia simulation training incorporating specific instructional design features enhances educational outcome; this was particularly evident at lower Kirkpatrick levels.
Study context
- Population
- Studies of ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia simulation training (RCTs, controlled before-and-after studies, other experimental designs)of 2023 articles identified
- Participants
- 62 participants
- Outcome
- Prevalence of instructional design features in ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia simulation training and their correlation with learning outcomes (modified Kirkpatrick model)
Methodological detailsmodified Kirkpatrick model, Literature search from inception to August 2024
- Modified Kirkpatrick model
- Literature search from inception to August 2024
Pooled result
As reported in the abstract
- Common simulation modalities: live-model scanning and gel phantom models
- Expert instructors, repetitive practice and multiple learning strategies prevalent, with significant improvements across multiple outcome levels
- Fewer studies assessed behaviour (Kirkpatrick level 3) and patient outcomes (Kirkpatrick level 4)
