Purpose: Trained acoustic guidance (TAG) is an alternative to traditional surgical training that could provide standardized teaching and objective feedback. We explored the acceptability of a TAG laparoscopic surgery simulation from a learner’s perspective.
Background: \"Traditionally, surgery is taught through demonstration, where trainees receive subjective verbal feedback and are expected to “see one
Methods: do one
Results: teach one”. Efficacy varies widely, possibly due to dependence on teacher-trainee dynamics. In contrast, TAG requires teachers to break complex skills into pre-determined steps, and auditory signals provide positive reinforcement.\"
Discussions: TAG was applied to the peg transfer task. Pre- and post-simulation surveys, adapted from the Michigan Standard Simulation Experience Scale, asked learners to rate self-confidence, self-efficacy, and the session’s educational value using the Likert scale.
