A comparative study of knowledge, attitude, and practice of rapid trauma survey using traditional and online methods among interns being trained at a rural tertiary health care center
Abstract
Background: Interns were experiencing a dramatic drop in their in-person training on assessing and treating of trauma patients and practical exposure due to shutdown of all medical services in medical colleges. This stands as an extreme challenge for surgical educators, and it needs an adaptation of newer methods to suffice this gap, for which online demonstration can be resorted to. Methodology: The study was carried out among 80 interns who were attending the Department of Orthopedics in the tertiary care center located in a rural area. Group A was given online training in ITLS, and group B was provided with offline training. Both the groups were posed to a pre-test and post-test to know the KAP regarding ITLS training. Results: The performance of the student was assessed using the ITLS checklist. The results were represented in numbers and percentages. Student T-test was done to look for statistically significant differences across the groups. It was observed that there was a statistically significant difference in the levels of knowledge; 100% of the participants had positive attitude toward ITLS, and there was no significant difference in the level of performance of each individual component of rapid trauma survey. Conclusions: This pandemic has shown us a new horizon in the online training and the utility of e-resources. Here, from the observations made in this study, it can be concluded that online training can be effectively utilized for training of rapid trauma survey.
