Colgan J, Kourouche S, Tofler G, Buckley T. Use of Videos by Health Care Professionals for Procedure Support in Acute Cardiac Care: A Scoping Review. Heart Lung Circ 2023; 32:143-155. [PMID: 36404221 DOI: 10.1016/j.hlc.2022.10.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2022] [Revised: 09/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiology procedures are often life-saving and time-critical, but some are so infrequent that health care staff may have rarely encountered them in practice or need to refresh their skills rapidly. Videos demonstrating procedures have the potential to assist health care professionals and support safe patient care. This scoping review explores the research literature involving the use of video by health care professionals in hospitals. AIM To identify what is known from research regarding the use of video to support clinical procedures in hospitals or health care facilities. METHOD The Joanna Briggs Institute Scoping review methodology guided our systematic search of peer-reviewed evidence related to video use to support procedures in a hospital or health care facility. Data sources included the electronic databases: ProQuest, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Medline, Excerpta Medica dataBASE (EMBASE), Scopus, and PubMed. FINDINGS Seventeen (17) studies that met the inclusion criteria were included in the review, all published between 2012 and 2022. Since 2005, YouTube has become the dominant platform for publishing or sourcing videos related to clinical procedures. Studies to date can be summarised under five themes: 1) video content and purpose, 2) target audience, 3) video hosting site-internal websites versus YouTube, 4) curated versus original 'homegrown' video content, and 5) video development process. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Research on the development and utility of videos to support clinical procedures is emerging, with the ability to host videos on platforms such as YouTube becoming more accessible in recent years. All videos were designed to enhance health care professionals' existing knowledge and skills within their scope of practice. The available literature suggests that video can be a valuable clinical resource for both simple and skilled procedures. Video resources can help clinicians perform or assist with rare procedures, providing 'just in time' patient safety prompts and information.

JOURNAL OF SURGICAL EDUCATION 2021; 78:1644-1654. [PMID: 33487586 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsurg.2021.01.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2020] [Revised: 11/17/2020] [Accepted: 01/14/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND High-income countries have increased the use of simulation-based training and assessment for surgical education. Learners in low- and middle-income countries may have different educational needs and levels of autonomy but they and their patients could equally benefit from the procedural training simulation provides. We sought to characterize the current state of surgical skills simulation in East, Central, and Southern Africa and determine residents' perception and future interest in such activities. METHODS A survey was created via collaboration and revision between trainees and educators with experiences spanning high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries. The survey was administered on paper to 76 trainees (PGY2-3) who were completing the College of Surgeons of East, Central, and Southern Africa (COSECSA) Membership of the College of Surgeons examination in Kampala, Uganda in December 2019. Data from paper responses were summarized using descriptive statistics and frequencies. RESULTS We received responses from 43 trainees (57%) from 11 countries in sub-Saharan Africa who participated in the examination. Fifty-eight percent of respondents reported having dedicated space for surgical skills simulation training, and most (91%) had participated in some form of simulation activity at some point in their training. However, just 16% used simulation as a regular part of training. The majority of trainees (90%) felt that surgical skills learned in simulation were transferrable to the operating room and agreed it should be a required part of training. Seventy-one percent of trainees felt that simulation could objectively measure technical skills, and 73% percent of respondents agreed that simulation should be integrated into formal assessment. However, residents split on whether proficiency in simulation should be achieved prior to operative experience (54%) and if nontechnical skills could be measured (51%). The most common cited barriers to the integration of surgical simulation into residents' education were lack of suitable tools and models (85%), funding (73%), and maintenance of facilities (49%). CONCLUSIONS Residents from East, Central, and Southern Africa strongly agree that simulation is a valuable educational tool and ought to be required during their surgical residency. Barriers to achieving this goal include availability of affordable tools, adequate funding and confidence in the value of the educational experience. Trainees affirm further efforts are necessary to make simulation more widely available in these contexts.

Abstract
PURPOSE To present social media (SoMe) platforms for surgeons, how these are used, with what impact, and their roles for research communication. METHODS A narrative review based on a literature search regarding social media use, of studies and findings pertaining to surgical disciplines, and the authors' own experience. RESULTS Several social networking platforms for surgeons are presented to the reader. The more frequently used, i.e., Twitter, is presented with details of opportunities, specific fora for communication, presenting tips for effective use, and also some caveats to use. Details of how the surgical community evolved through the use of the hashtag #SoMe4Surgery are presented. The impact on gender diversity in surgery through important hashtags (from #ILookLikeASurgeon to #MedBikini) is discussed. Practical tips on generating tweets and use of visual abstracts are presented, with influence on post-production distribution of journal articles through "tweetorials" and "tweetchats." Findings from seminal studies on SoMe and the impact on traditional metrics (regular citations) and alternative metrics (Altmetrics, including tweets, retweets, news outlet mentions) are presented. Some concerns on misuse and SoMe caveats are discussed. CONCLUSION Over the last two decades, social media has had a huge impact on science dissemination, journal article discussions, and presentation of conference news. Immediate and real-time presentation of studies, articles, or presentations has flattened hierarchy for participation, debate, and engagement. Surgeons should learn how to use novel communication technology to advance the field and further professional and public interaction.

Abstract
Medical information websites are usually targeted toward patients, physicians, and medical students. Most of the latest studies researched the usability of such websites. However, reports on user numbers and behavior are rare.The goal of our study is to analyze the utility of a website of a large tertiary referral center in ophthalmology in terms of various target audiences (patients, applicants, medical students, referring ophthalmologists).The web access data from our institutional website was assessed with Google Analytics. Data collection started in 2016.From 2016 to 2018, we counted a total of 763,942 page views. The overall number of users dropped from 81,572 to 67,740. This drop's onset correlates with a change in the website structure. All target audience pages received constant traffic from 2016 to 2019, with the patients' and doctors' sites attracting the most traffic. The pages for medical students and job applicants, although not viewed often, revealed a long session duration.Our website is used by all our target audiences. The behavior and the user numbers of each target group differ. Changes to a website's structure can influence the number of users and their behavior. It is not possible to make a direct comparison to other institutions' websites as there are so few similar reports available. By adding more parameters to the analytics profile in a prospective setting, more detailed analyses of user behavior may be possible in the future.
