Abstract
AIM: To use the mental imagery rehearsal in gastroscopy training with virtual reality endoscopic simulator, and to analyze the role of this method in gastroscopy skill acquisition.
METHODS: Thirty male students were selected from our university using stratified sampling method. The participants were randomly divided into three groups: A, B, and C. In group A, mental imagery rehearsal was joined into the conventional practice with simulator, while group B was exercised conventionally. Group C did not receive any practice. All trainees underwent psychological evaluation before and after the training.
RESULTS: There was a significant difference in the operation score among the three groups. Group C was better than the other two groups, and group B was better than group C. There were significant differences in safety score, accuracy score, overinsufflation score, patient pain index score, and operating time score between the three groups. Only overinsufflation score and operating time score differed significantly between group A and group B.
CONCLUSION: Mental imagery rehearsal can improve the study effect of virtual reality endoscopic simulator in training gastroscopy skills, and this method is simple and easy to understand by students, providing a new way for training with the simulator.
