Brief Summary

This pilot randomized controlled trial evaluates the effect of motion graphic video-based training on the performance of scrub nurse students during dynamic hip screw (DHS) surgery. A total of 30 operating room technology students in their 6th or 8th semester are randomly assigned to either an intervention group (n=15) or a control group (n=15). The intervention group receives routine clinical training plus a 15-minute motion graphic video demonstrating DHS surgical steps, while the control group receives only routine clinical training. Performance is assessed before and after a 15-day internship using a validated 43-item checklist.

Conditions

Proximal Femoral Fracture; Dinamic Hip Surgery

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Scrub Nurse Performance Score

  Performance assessed using a validated 43-item researcher-made checklist covering preoperative (13 items), intraoperative (24 items), and postoperative (6 items) phases. Each item is scored on a three-point scale: 0 = does not perform, 1 = performs incompletely, and 2 = performs correctly. The total score ranges from 0 to 86, with higher scores indicating better performance. The checklist was validated for content validity and reliability through expert review and pilot testing.

  Baseline (day 1) and day 15 (end of 15-day internship)

• Within-Group Pre-Post Score Changes

  Comparison of Scrub Nurse Performance Scores (measured using a validated 43-item checklist, total score range: 0-86, with higher scores indicating better performance) before and after the 15-day internship within each group using paired t-tests.

  Baseline to day 15

• Between-Group Post-Test Score Comparison

  Comparison of Scrub Nurse Performance Scores (measured using a validated 43-item checklist, total score range: 0-86, with higher scores indicating better performance) between the intervention and control groups after the 15-day internship using independent t-tests.

  Day 15

Study Arms (2)

Motion Graphic Video Training

EXPERIMENTAL

Students received a 15-minute motion graphic video demonstrating DHS surgical steps, in addition to routine clinical training, with unlimited access during the 15-day internship.

Other: Motion Graphic Video Training

Routine Clinical Training

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Students received only routine clinical training in the operating room, including attending the OR, performing the scrub nurse role, and receiving direct feedback from the clinical instructor during the 15-day internship.

Other: Routine Clinical Training

Interventions

Motion Graphic Video Training OTHER

A 15-minute animated video demonstrating the steps of proximal femur fracture surgery using a dynamic hip screw (DHS). Content includes surgical instruments, anatomy review, table setup, patient draping, and instrument delivery to the surgeon.

Motion Graphic Video Training

Routine Clinical Training OTHER

Standard clinical training in the operating room including attendance, performing the scrub nurse role, and receiving direct feedback from the clinical instructor during the 15-day internship.

Routine Clinical Training
