| Abstract: | IntroductionThe impact of animal death on surgeons during training in laparoscopic techniques is unknown.MethodsEmotions and cognitive load were assessed depending on animal survival.ResultsThose exposed to animal death (n = 14) had higher levels of sadness (1.3) and anxiety (2.4), and lower levels of happiness (6.1) on a one-to-ten scale, compared to the 56 that were non-exposed (1.0/2.0/7.5). Mean cognitive load was 68.21 ± 12.865 in the exposed and 64.74 ± 14.632 in the non-exposed (p > 0.05).ConclusionsEmotions and cognitive load among surgeons training in laparoscopic techniques were similar, regardless animal survival after the surgical procedure. |
