Abstract
Background
Surgical ward rounds are key element to point-of-care interprofessional postoperative treatment and technical and communicational aspects are relevant for the patient’s safety and satisfaction. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the training opportunity of experiencing a face-to-face surgical ward round was massively hampered and thus, we developed a digital concept. This study aims to investigate the feasibility of video-transmitted ward rounds integrating surgical and communicational aspects with live streaming from wards. Further, medical students were asked for their satisfaction and their subjective learning success.
Methods
The proof-of-concept study consisted of self-reported subjective evaluation of competences in ward round skills. Qualitative feedback was collected to gain deeper insight and students’ empathy was rated by using the student version of the Jefferson Empathy Scale (JES).
Results
One hundred three medical students participated. The students were satisfied with the video-transmitted ward round (M = 3.54; SD = 1.22). In the subjective evaluation students’ ward round competencies rose significantly (

= 3.76, SD = 0.75). The surgeon was rated as empathic (M = 119.05; SD = 10.09). In the qualitative feedback they named helpful aspects like including an expert for communication. However, they preferred the face-to-face setting in comparison to the digital concept.
Conclusions
It was feasible to implement a video-transmitted ward round within a pandemic. The format worked technically, was well-accepted and also led to a subjective rise in the students’ competencies. Video-transmitted ward rounds may be integrated to support the medical education, though, they cannot replace the face-to-face setting.
