“…The major obstacle to e‐logbook compliance was internet connectivity. One in two respondents to the question ranked it amongst their top two limiting factors, confirming similar findings from an Upper Middle Income setting [16]. This would contrast with findings from the piloting of the American Board of Surgery (ABS) ‘SCORE curriculum’ and the COSECSA (co‐developed with RCSI) ‘School for Surgeons’ e‐resources in LMICs [17].…”

Integration and Sustainability of Electronic Surgical Logbooks in Sub‐Saharan Africa

et al. 2020

Background Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa lack adequate surgical workforces to achieve safe and affordable care for their populations. The Global Surgery movement highlights the urgent need to address this situation. Interventions include not only financial, material and infrastructural support, but also collaborative information flow to support surgical training. In 2015, an electronic logbook was launched for surgical trainees across Sub-Saharan Africa.Objectives To assess the integration and context sustainability of surgical e-logbooks in Sub-Saharan Africa. Methods In January 2019, a survey analysis of surgical trainees was employed using quantitative and qualitative methods. Participants (active trainees and recent fellows) completed an anonymous internet-based questionnaire evaluating end-user feedback, perceptions and self-reported compliance. Multi-point Likert Scale measures and freetext thematic analysis were used. Results 358 (68.19%) eligible individuals across 21 Sub-Saharan countries and seven surgical specialties voluntarily participated. The e-resource demonstrated integration into local curricula with the majority of users maintaining activity and reporting moderate-high compliance. Context appropriateness measures were high with 203 (69.76%) deeming it convenient to use. The principle obstacle to compliance was internet connectivity (74, 25.96%), while behavioural factors including supervisor engagement were implicated. The e-logbook demonstrated future sustainability with the majority (243, 78.14%) of participants intent on maintaining usage beyond completion of surgical training. Conclusions We describe the successful integration and sustainability of electronic surgical logbooks for trainees across Sub-Saharan Africa. However context-appropriate resources are essential for Low-and Middle-Income Countries. Internet connectivity may hinder the achievement of several Global Surgery objectives in Sub-Saharan Africa.

“…Although in this mixed method study the main complaint of the trainees was lack of timely feedback by the supervisors. In another study by Gondal et al 13 CPSP supervisors were satisfied by the eLogbook as tool to improve and monitor training. But this was a simple cross-sectional study and did not investigate the problems and barriers in effective use of the eLogbook.…”

Objective: To explore the feasibility of assessment of operative skills of FCPS vascular surgery trainees based on video recordings of the surgical procedures with a view to introduce it in the curriculum. Methods: This qualitative study was carried out from 9th April 2021 – 15th July 2021 at Shifa Tameer e Millat University, Islamabad, Pakistan. It is a qualitative study based on constructivist grounded theory. Semi structured interviews of 16 participants, including five vascular surgical trainees, six vascular surgical consultants/supervisors/examiners, and five medical educationists were conducted, recorded and transcribed. Open and axial coding method was employed to identify recurring themes. Results: Six themes could be identified. (1) There was consensus among participants on deficiency in current assessment of surgical skills. (2) Most participants believed that this is a useful method, although four out of 16 participants believed that current methods were sufficient. (3) There was a unanimous opinion that its purpose should be initially formative assessment and later for summative assessment. (4) It was suggested that it is practical with logistic support; it can be made part of trainee’s record to be reviewed later; maybe by independent observers. (5) Participants believed that the logistic issue in term of equipment and trained manpower will be a challenge in implementing this mode of assessment. Other barriers included medicolegal and ethical issue and acceptability by the stake holders. (6) Participants also suggested remedies for the barriers. Conclusion: Video review of surgical procedures can improve assessment of operative skills of trainees provided it is used as formative tool initially with a need to overcome logistics, medicolegal and cultural barriers. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.39.1.6737 How to cite this: Bhatti AM, Ahsin S, Mansoor S.

Background and AimsElectronic logbook (E‐Logbook) is one of the practical software in medical science that serves as an auxiliary tool for comprehensive education, formative evaluation, and student learning documentation in clinical education. E‐logbooks are available to people on the Internet without any time or place restrictions. Experts' familiarity with e‐logbooks and their advantages and disadvantages can be effective in their better design so professors and students can use their potential benefits. Therefore, this study examines the advantages and disadvantages of an e‐logbook.MethodsThis systematic review was conducted until June 13, 2022, by searching relevant keywords such as logbook, e‐logbook, and medical students in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Data were extracted using the data extraction form. The contents of the studies were analyzed based on the study's aim. The results of the analyses were presented in the form of descriptive statistics (tables and figures).ResultsOut of 365 retrieved studies, 13 were selected to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of e‐logbooks. Most studies were conducted in Pakistan (n = 4) and focused on medical students with different specialties (n = 10). The advantages and disadvantages of e‐logbooks were classified into nine and four categories, respectively. Most advantages of e‐logbooks were related to monitoring and evaluating the performance of students and instructors (n = 11). Their most disadvantages were associated with hardware and software (n = 8).ConclusionAccording to the results, e‐logbooks can improve clinical education, provide feedback to people, control the achievement of educational goals, and increase professor−student interaction. Hence, it is recommended to address their disadvantages and barriers to improve the quality of students' performance.
