Effectiveness of a Portable Multifaceted Feedback Mechanism for Formative Assessment in Standardized Training of Surgical Residents: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study investigates the effectiveness of a Portable multifaceted Feedback Mechanism in standardized training for surgical residents. Sixty-eight resident physicians undergoing training at the Peace Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from August 2022 to August 2024 were selected as subjects and divided into experimental and control groups. DaThe experimental group utilized a formative evaluation system with a Portable Multifaceted Feedback Mechanism, while the control group employed summative evaluation.t analysis involved comparing scores across all items in the Portable Multifaceted Feedback Mechanism scoring scale and general assessment tools, evaluating teacher and student satisfaction levels, and analyzing peer physician feedback through t-tests. Results showed statistically significant differences (P<0.05) between experimental and control groups in both individual items of the scoring scale and general assessment tools. Significant variations were also observed across different training phases within the experimental group. Teacher and student satisfaction scores revealed no significant differences between the experimental and control groups, but significant differences existed between the control group and experimental groups 2 and 3, as well as between groups 2 and 3 (P<0.05). Peer physician feedback analysis demonstrated gradual improvement in evaluations toward the experimental group (B=4.061, P<0.05). These findings indicate that the Portable Multifaceted Feedback Mechanism proves effective in standardized training for surgical residents, representing a replicable approach worthy of wider adoption.
