PURPOSE: The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the effectiveness of using feedback from a standardized patient (SP) to teach a surgical resident (SR) informed consent (IC) protocol. METHODS: Four general case types of increasing difficulty were tested in a longitudinal experimental design format. The four types of cases were appendectomy, cholecystectomy, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer. Eight SRs of varying years of completion in medical school served as subjects-four in the experimental group (received performance feedback from an SP) and four in the control group (received no SP feedback). Both the control and experimental groups participated in two patient encounters per case type. The first patient encounter served as the pretest, and the second patient encounter was the posttest. In each encounter, an SP rated the resident on 14 measures using an open-ended seven-point rating scale adopted and modified from the Brown University Interpersonal Skill Evaluation (BUISE). Each resident also reviewed a videotape of an expert giving IC between pretest and the posttest for basic instructional protocol. Random stratified sampling was used to equally distribute the residents by postgraduate years. A total of 16 SPs were used in this study. All patient/SR encounters were videotaped. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant overall change--pretest to posttest and across cases (p = 0.001). The group effect was statistically significant (p = 0.000), with the experimental group averaging about 10 points greater than the control group. CONCLUSIONS: Standardized patient feedback is an effective modality in teaching surgical residents informed consent protocol. This conclusion is tentative, due to the limitations of sample size. The results of this study support continued research on the effects of standardized patient feedback to teach informed consent to surgical residents.
