Desempenho do sistema de avaliação de competências operatórias entre graduandos e residentes de ginecologia e obstetrícia

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Teaching skills in surgical technique is one of the most important tasks in the area of teaching gynecology, and requires the presence of a trained tutor and an available evaluative method, easy to learn and capable of covering the various stages of teaching. OBJECTIVE: To analyze and apply the Operative Performance Rating System (OPRS) as a tool of evaluation in real scenarios of surgical practice, to evaluate undergraduate students and residents, as a complement to the existing evaluation methods. METHODS: Cross-sectional, descriptive, quantitative study that assessed the performance of students and residents during the execution of gynecological surgeries in a university hospital. The students were evaluated according to the scores obtained in the OPRS items (Likert scale of 5- anatomy, surgical instruments, surgery flow, interaction with the team and overall performance). The instrument score ranges from 4 to 20 points. The software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 21, was used to analyze the data, applying Analysis of Variance, Tukey test and student t-test. RESULTS: Comparing the means of the variables of the OPRS items, a difference was observed between the methods in the evaluation items according to to the graduation and residence period (p <0.001). Among the undergraduates, there was a difference in the means of the evaluation items (p <0.05), except for the item interaction (p <0.108). For the residents, the analysis showed a difference in the means of the evaluation items related to the medical residence time (p <0.001). CONCLUSION: The use of OPRS in the evaluation process of residents and undergraduates allows a differentiation between levels of knowledge, allowing the monitoring of progress according to the study time and offering immediate feedback on the performance in the surgical practice.
