Advantages, disadvantages and helpful aspects of the application TS
Advantages commonly listed by students were the possibility of mobile use/free availability of the application and its interactivity. Residents considered the visual representation/animation and the step-by-step learning of the procedure as most advantageous. Senior physicians’ opinions were substantially more diverse, and they noted realism, step-by-step learning of the procedure, visual representation/animation and interactivity as equal major advantages. The major disadvantage named by students was that TS does not provide practical training. Common disadvantages named equally by residents were insufficient representation/information and there being only one standard (USA). Senior physicians equally named insufficient representation/information and the lack of practical training as disadvantages. In terms of skills that could be acquired using TS, all three groups highlighted provision of knowledge about the procedural steps as the most helpful aspect of the application.
