Simulation\u2010based education (SBE) is a highly effective training method, allowing trainees to learn both technical and nontechnical skills in a safe environment. Training in the management of urological emergencies is limited in many healthcare settings, so we performed a needs assessment for a urological emergencies SBE course in Ethiopia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study presents data from a descriptive cross\u2010sectional, survey\u2010based survey of consultants and residents in the Ethiopian surgical community.

Fifty three of the respondents were general surgeons and 38 of the respondents were urologists. Sixty nine respondents strongly agreed that simulation\u2010based training was important for first\u2010year surgical residents, whereas twenty\u2010five respondents agreed and nine respondents strongly disagreed; one respondent disagreed and one was neutral. Eighty seven respondents suggested a 3\u2010day training course, whereas 17 respondents suggested a two\u2010day course. More than 80 of the respondents rated training in the management of acute urinary retention, acute scrotum, urethral, and suprapubic catheterization as extreme or very important and 79 respondents wanted education about urologic trauma and Fournier's gangrene.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Surgical and urology residents in Ethiopia have expressed a need for, and a strong interest in, simulation\u2010based urological emergency training.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/wjs.12350","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,19]],"date-time":"2024-09-19T10:14:47Z","timestamp":1726740887000},"page":"2471-2476","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A needs assessment for simulation\u2010based training in emergency urological skills in Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"48","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5338-1589","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anteneh Tadesse","family":"Kifle","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Consultant General Surgeon and Urologist PCEA Chogoria Hospital  Chogoria Kenya"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthew","family":"Trail","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Consultant Urological Surgeon Western General Hospital  Edinburgh UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tizazu Abebayehu","family":"Tsega","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Assistant professor of Urology Hawassa University  Hawassa Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tilaneh Leyeh","family":"Demilow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Assistant professor of Urology Hawassa University  Hawassa Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Getaneh Tesfaye","family":"Teferi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Assistant professor of Urology Hawassa University  Hawassa Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephen R.","family":"Payne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Honorary Consultant Urological Surgeon Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust  Manchester UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3443-8425","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chandra Shekhar","family":"Biyani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Consultant Urological Surgeon St James's University Hospital  Leeds UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0140\u20106736(15)60160\u2010x"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","first-page":"00","article-title":"Apprenticeship Model in 21st Century\u2019s Surgical Education: Should it Perish?","volume":"2","author":"Shahzad S.","year":"2021","journal-title":"Arch Surg Res"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","first-page":"1","volume-title":"To err is human: Building a safer health system (Report Brief)","author":"Institute of Medicine","year":"1999"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/medu.12795"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/bju.15731"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2666\u20101683(24)00063\u20106"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.afju.2017.03.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aju.2018.06.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268\u2010017\u20104261\u20107"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268\u2010023\u201007169\u20100"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Surgical Capacity in Public and Private Health Facilities after a Five\u2010Year Strategic Plan Implementation in Ethiopia: A Cross Sectional Study","volume":"89","author":"Merga K.
