OBJECTIVE: Following a previous high-fidelity simulation study, we analyzed users\' perceptions of the technology, to identify its strengths and limitations from clinicians\' perspectives.
METHODS: This is a mixed qualitative-quantitative study consisting of interviews and a survey. After solving coagulation scenarios using Visual Clot in high-fidelity simulations, we interviewed anesthesia personnel about the perceived advantages and disadvantages of the new tool. We used a template approach to identify dominant themes in interview responses. From these themes, we defined 5 statements, which were then rated on Likert scales in a questionnaire.
RESULTS: We interviewed 77 participants and 23 completed the survey. We identified 9 frequently mentioned topics by analyzing the interview responses. The most common themes were \"positive design features,\" \"intuitive and easy to learn,\" and \"lack of a quantitative component.\" In the survey, 21 respondents agreed that Visual Clot is easy to learn and 16 respondents stated that a combination of Visual Clot and ROTEM would help them manage complex hemostatic situations.
CONCLUSIONS: A group of anesthesia care providers found Visual Clot well-designed, intuitive, and easy to learn. Participants highlighted its usefulness in emergencies, especially for clinicians inexperienced in coagulation management. However, the lack of quantitative information is an area for improvement.
目标:根据先前的高保真模拟研究,我们分析了用户对这项技术的看法,从临床医生的角度确定其优势和局限性。
方法:这是一项由访谈和调查组成的定性-定量混合研究。在高保真模拟中使用VisualClot解决凝血方案后,我们采访了麻醉人员,了解新工具的优缺点。我们使用模板方法来识别面试回答中的主要主题。从这些主题来看,我们定义了5个语句,然后在问卷的李克特量表上进行评级。
结果:我们采访了77名参与者,其中23人完成了调查。通过分析面试回复,我们确定了9个经常被提及的主题。最常见的主题是“积极的设计特征,“\”直观易学,\"和\"缺乏定量成分。\"在调查中,21名受访者同意视觉凝块易于学习,16名受访者表示视觉凝块和ROTEM的组合将帮助他们管理复杂的止血情况。
结论:一组麻醉护理提供者发现,直观,和容易学习。与会者强调了它在紧急情况下的有用性,特别是对于没有凝血管理经验的临床医生。然而,缺乏定量信息是一个需要改进的领域。
