Criação e validação de face e conteúdo de simulador realístico para treinamento de cistostomia suprapúbica

Abstract

Performing a suprapubic cystostomy should be a competence of the urologist and general surgeon. The training of this competence through simulation appears as a safe, risk-free alternative for patients and resident physicians. We propose the creation of a realistic simulator for suprapubic cystostomy training and its face and content validation by urologists. This validation was carried out by carrying out the procedure by specialists and applying a semi-structured questionnaire. Twenty-one urologists evaluated the simulator, with a mean age of 41.2 years. Anatomical realism had an average score of 4.24 (maximum score 5) and usefulness as a teaching tool obtained an average of 4.76 (maximum score 5). The simulator is comparable to other models published in the literature, with the advantage of being realistic. The developed simulator could be incorporated into the training curricula of resident physicians, especially in general surgery and urology.
