Abstract

Background

The OSCE, or objective structured clinical examination, is a practical assessment used worldwide to evaluate students' competencies in health science degrees. It consists of stations, where different clinical situations can be replicated. Sometimes, the settings can introduce actors who perform the role of standardised patients. This study is aimed to determine the perception of students, teachers, and actresses involved in a periodontology OSCE station with a standardised patient.

Methods

In April 2023, 112 fifth-year dentistry students, 6 teachers, and 21 actresses participated in the study. The teachers responsible for the station design created three online questionnaires, distributed to all participants. The questionnaires consisted of a perception survey about the periodontology OSCE station in order to find out teachers, students and actresses` opinions about the station. The questions were divided by general demographics data (age, gender, and qualifications), 5 specific questions about the periodontology station and one open-ended question to express any consideration not mentioned previously.

Results

The results showed that most students handled the patient situation well (58.03%), found it realistic (83.92%), and appreciated the presence of a standardised patient (57.14%). Similarly, the teachers were satisfied (66.66%) or very satisfied (33.33%) with the exam, while the standardised patients generally felt satisfied (71.42%) or very satisfied (19.04%) with their role. Some patients experienced difficulties with evaluating and interpreting the checklist (57.14%).

Discussion

Overall, the organisation, explanations, and information provided for the stations were deemed accurate and satisfactory.

欧安组织牙周病站的学生、教授和模拟患者的感知

欧安组织，或客观结构化临床检查，是世界范围内用于评估学生健康科学学位能力的实用评估。它由多个站点组成，可以复制不同的临床情况。有时，设置可以引入演员来扮演标准化患者的角色。本研究旨在确定学生、教师和女演员在一个标准化患者的牙周病OSCE站的感知。方法于2023年4月对112名牙科五年级学生、6名教师、21名女演员进行调查。负责车站设计的老师制作了三份在线问卷，分发给所有参与者。问卷包括对欧安组织牙周病站的认知调查，以了解教师、学生和女演员对该站的看法。问题分为一般人口统计数据（年龄，性别和资格），5个关于牙周病站的具体问题和一个开放式问题，以表达之前未提及的任何考虑。结果绝大多数学生对患者情况处理良好（58.03%），认为患者情况符合实际（83.92%），对规范化患者的存在表示赞赏（57.14%）。教师对考试满意（66.66%）或非常满意（33.33%），规范化患者对自己的角色总体满意（71.42%）或非常满意（19.04%）。一些患者在评估和解释检查表方面有困难（57.14%）。总的来说，组织、解释和提供给电台的信息被认为是准确和令人满意的。
