Is higher mental workload associated with poorer laparoscopic performance?
The NASA-TLX questionnaire can identify individuals prone to high workload and errors during laparoscopic skill transfer.
Increased workload is associated with inferior task performance and higher likelihood of errors. The NASA-TLX questionnaire accurately reflects workload changes during simulator training and may identify individuals more likely to experience high workload and more prone to errors during skill transfer to the clinical environment.
