Assessments were conducted immediately, at 2 weeks and at 8 weeks post-exposure to either a video or simulated activity. Learning style was identified using a VARK questionnaire before the study.Results: Mann -Whitney U test showed that during the third DOPS assessment (U = 17.50, p = 0.011), the simulation group performed better than the video-assisted group with no difference in the first and second assessments. No difference was noted in OBA scores. Friedman test, followed by a Wilcoxon signed-rank test, showed a decrease from the first to the third OBA scores within the video group (Z = -2.038, p = 0.042), and no change in the simulation group. Learning styles did not influence performance. No differences in knowledge were noted between the two groups but knowledge decay was identified within the video-assisted group.Conclusion: No difference in knowledge was identified between the two groups. There was knowledge decay within the video-assisted group. Retention of procedural skills was better for the simulation group. The learning styles of students did not affect the outcome. Video-assisted learning can be useful for simple devices for remote learning and enhance blended learning. Further research with a larger sample size would be beneficial.","PeriodicalId":233669,"journal":{"name":"South-East Asian Journal of Medical Education","volume":" 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141677102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is difficult to develop the attitudes, knowledge, and abilities needed to become a competent physician within a short amount of time. The purpose of this study is to identify and compare the practice of surface, strategic, and deep learning strategies by third-year medical students and students who have passed the final MBBS examination.Methods: The Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students (ASSIST) – a 52-item questionnaire was given to 138 medical undergraduates at the Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Sri Jayewardenepura. The ethics review committee of the Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Sri Jayewardenepura granted ethical clearance for this study (Ref. no. 45/17).Results: The strategic approach was shown to be the most common strategy [78.3%(108/138)] practiced by medical students [Students who completed their final MBBS exams [80.6% (25/31)] and third-year medical students (77.6% (83/107)]. The deep approach was used by 21 (15.2%) individuals and the surface apathetic approach by 9 (6.5%) participants, respectively. Percentage 82.6 (76/92) of females and 69.6% (32/46) of males reported adhering to a strategic approach. A statistically significant difference was not observed in the learning strategies used between the two study populations.Conclusions: The strategic approach was commonly practiced by the study population. The results indicate that deep learning strategies were not utilized among medical undergraduates in their curriculum.

This approach fosters active engagement and shared decision-making in student-centered teaching. However, aligning this well-established method with the preferences of Generation Z remains unexplored. This study delves into these preferences, specifically comparing traditional two-way communication with modern, digital platform-based one-way methods.Methods: Through a cross-sectional study conducted among externs and interns at Surin Hospital, Thailand, we examined communication preferences using a 1-5 rating scale. Descriptive statistics were employed to analyze the data, providing insights into the evolving communication landscape.Results: Among the 67 interns and externs, with an impressive 80.6% response rate, preferences leaned toward hybrid consultation models. While two-way consultations received an average score of 3.2 (SD 0.88)—indicating moderate preference—respondents (63%) highly valued its educational benefits. Interestingly, 50% reported experiencing anxiety and insomnia before consultations, suggesting potential drawbacks. A key finding emerged, with 81.5% favoring a shift toward digital one-way communication for non-urgent cases. Moreover, nearly all participants expressed a preference for a three-level triage system, utilizing both methods: one-way for non-urgent, two-way for urgent, and two-way for emergency cases.Discussion and Conclusion: This study underscores the need for tailored communication approaches in medication consultations for Generation Z medical trainees. Integrating digital platforms and offering a hybrid model can enhance communication effectiveness and adapt to the preferences of this emerging generation.","PeriodicalId":233669,"journal":{"name":"South-East Asian Journal of Medical Education","volume":" 28","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141678523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As this program has been implemented phase-wise in our institution, we conducted a preliminary survey to identify professional attitudes of students in the 2019-20 batch who have had some exposure to AETCOM education as compared to the earlier 2017-18 batch who had no exposure to the modules.Methods: This was an observational cross-sectional study involving two groups of undergraduate medical students who were exposed and not exposed to AETCOM modules respectively. A self-administered semi-structured questionnaire comprising 20 closed-ended and 4 open-ended items related to the study topic was designed for data collection. Responses were entered and tabulated in MS Excel and analyzed using SPSS version 21 by descriptive and inferential statistics.Results: A total of 103 medical students participated. The Mean Attitude Score (MAS) was significantly higher in the batch exposed to the AETCOM sessions. Among those exposed, 91.65% agreed that their behaviour towards patients had changed after attending the sessions. In addition, they gave suggestions on how the delivery of the modules could be improved in the second professional year.Conclusion: Formal training in AETCOM competencies has a positive effect in shaping the professional attitudes of medical students. Role plays and clinical exposure are perceived as effective ways of imparting ethics education. This positive effect can be enhanced with improved teaching-learning methods for successive batches of undergraduate medical trainees at our institution.","PeriodicalId":233669,"journal":{"name":"South-East Asian Journal of Medical Education","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129991287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
