THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIMULATION FOR TEACHING MEDICAL PROCEDURE : A MODEL FOR PRACTICING CHEST DRAIN

Abstract

This research aims to: 1) study the types of training models, materials, and anatomy used in the development of the training models for chest tube insertion training; 2) analyze the types of training models, materials, and anatomy; 3) develop training models for chest tube insertion training; and 4) assess the quality of the training models in terms of usability and aesthetic value.

The target group involved in developing the training model consisted of three medical experts and three fine art experts, selected purposive sampling method, while the statistical methods used in the study were the mean and the Binomial Test.

               The research findings indicated that the developed training model for chest tube insertion demonstrated excellent quality in both functionality and aesthetic aspects. The average rating for both aspects was 5.00, while the resulted of the Binomial Test revealed that a statistically significant proportion (more than 50%) of experts perceived the developed training model as suitable for chest tube insertion training within teaching and learning contexts. This significance was achieved at a level of p < 0.05.
