ABSTRACT

Introduction: Simulation plays an important role in training skills while maintaining patient safety. Objectives: A simulation model and its construct validation is presented. In addition, a literature review on simulation models for training in myringotomy and ventilation tube installation was performed. Material and methods: In 2013, a simulation model for training in myringotomy and ventilation tube installation was created. A workshop on the procedure was held and a specific evaluation scale was applied. The total time of the procedure, microscopic vision blockage and number of contacts with the external auditory canal were recorded. Participants were classified into three groups according to their level of expertise: "novice", "intermediate", and "expert". Results: The novice group obtained a lower score on the evaluation scale (p < 0.01), and higher total times of the procedure, of microscopic vision blockage and number of contacts than the other groups (p < 0.01). No significant differences were found between the intermediate and expert groups. Conclusions: The presented model has construct validity. Most of the simulators found have content and/or construct validity, but the transfer of skills to the real patient has not been evaluated yet, presenting a challenge to be followed.
