Abstract:
Virtual simulations provide a safe environment to practice medical skills and has become more common in the health sector. To maintain and update virtual simulations with state-of-the-art medical procedures require expert knowledge in programming and IT development. Significant resources could be saved if medical educators and students could update the virtual simulation with new scenarios themselves. Based on a qualitative study of end-users solving visual programming tasks, we identify constraints and opportunities in achieving this. The main constraint was the their inability to break down scenarios into smaller codable steps. The main opportunity was how their familiarity with some elements in the visual programming language increased their ability to solve the programming tasks.
