[Practical skills training : How suitable is Peyton's four-step approach for residents in urology?]
2021
Introduction The aim of residency is to acquire medical skills and abilities. One didactic model is "Peyton's four-step approach". The aim of the present study was to develop and evaluate a modified Peytonian approach for group interactions. The aim was to develop a course for the acquisition of practical skills and training assistants in suture techniques for urology. Methods A prospective study was conducted with a total of 38 participants and 6 tutors. In a modified four-step Peytonian approach, various suturing and knotting techniques were taught in a structured manner. Tutors evaluated the procedural activity using observation sheets. In addition, the learning method was evaluated by the participants and the tutors at the end of the course. In order to check the long-term learning success, a renewed survey of the participants was conducted after 6 months. Results 80% of the participants rated the modified teaching method as useful and 83% of the tutors rated the procedural implementation as good. Fluid movement sequences were difficult independent of the technique taught. After 6 months, the participants significantly improved their procedural skills in all techniques that were taught. Conclusion This paper defines a four-step Peyton-based approach to teaching practical skills such as suturing and knotting used in urological training. The modified teaching method improved practical skills used in urology. This method should be considered in continuing education to promote self-confidence and increase the competence in surgical skills.
