An interventional study of Interview and Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) Test in Chest Tubes and Cognitive Skill, sponsored by University Ghent. Completed at 1 site in Belgium. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-05-09.
Sponsored by University Ghent · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
The goal of the proposed study design is to develop and gather validity evidence of a theoretical test about cognitive skills which are important when performing Chest Tube Insertion (CTI). This study consists of two parts:
University Ghent is the lead sponsor of 345 studies on the registry; 85 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
Content experts who will be interviewed in order to collect their opinion on theoretical knowledge.
Other: Interview
Medical students who will complete the test
Other: Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) Test
Junior residents (surgery, pneumology, emergency medicine) who will complete the test.
Other: Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) Test
Faculty members (surgery, pneumology, emergency medicine) who will complete the test.
Other: Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) Test
Interviews consist of semi-structured interviews focused on the theoretical knowledge a physician should possess before placing chest tube insertions.
The test contains multiple choice questions based on these interviews. Participants will complete this test. Validity evidence will be collected based on the results of this test.
Validity evidence for the theoretical test
Validity evidence following Messick's framework for a new theoretical test will be collected. The score will reflect the number of questions participants scored correctly; X/Y, where X=the number of questions answered correctly, and Y=the total number of questions. This score can be transformed in a percentage score accordingly. A higher score means the participant answered more questions correctly.
Time frame: Participants are assessed once: the score of each participant is recorded immediately after completion of the test.
