Face and content validity of a novel post-thyroidectomy haematoma simulation model.

A study published in the Bulletin of The Royal College of Surgeons of England has developed a simulation model for training healthcare professionals in managing post-thyroidectomy hematoma, a potentially life-threatening complication. The homemade simulation model, which involves an actor and an assistant, demonstrated good face validity and content validity. Participants agreed that the model taught transferable skills and should be included in training programs. This is the first simulation model of its kind to undergo formal validity testing, and further studies are recommended to enhance its utility. [Extracted from the article]
