Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Messick's framework of validity collects this evidence from five different sources: content, response process, relation to other variables, internal structure and consequences.
The ACTION-tool has been developed based on a Delphi consensus study (and has established content evidence as a result). This study will collect evidence from the four remaining sources.
Two groups of participants (novices and experienced) will be recruited. All participants will provide informed consent and demographic information. Afterwards, they will be informed of the study, will familiarise themselves with the simulators, watch an educational video, and will be asked to perform two chest tube insertions (CTI).
All participants will be evaluated by a live rater, and will be recorded using a head-mounted GoPro and an overview camera. The recordings will be edited to ensure anonymization, and will be subsequently rated by three blinded raters.
Statistical analysis will evaluate the difference in mean scores between the groups, the internal structure using G-theory, and will establish a pass/fail score.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Novices
Junior residents from the departments of surgery, pneumology or emergency medicine. These participants are in their first or second year of residency, and have observed or placed less than 5 CTIs in their career.
Assessment using the ACTION-tool.
Participants will be assessed using the ACTION-tool while they are performing a CTI on a porcine rib model and Thiel embalmed human cadavers.
Experienced
Faculty members from Ghent University Hospital from the departments of surgery, pneumology or emergency medicine. These participants must have finished their residency training, and must be involved in resident education.
Assessment using the ACTION-tool.
Participants will be assessed using the ACTION-tool while they are performing a CTI on a porcine rib model and Thiel embalmed human cadavers.
