The present study aimed to determine the impact of open-book assessment on students’ learning and satisfaction. Material and methods: This study was a quasi-experimental study on 60 4th semester students of operating room and anesthesiology of the North Khorasan University of Medical Sciences, North of Iran from 1 July 2019 to 30 March 2020. In the intervention group, the students were divided into groups of five and were given essay questions and a textbook on blood transfusion, and were asked to answer the questions in a participatory and open-book assessment method. In the control group, the assessment was performed in a separate environment by a written method with the same essay questions as the intervention group. Results: The results showed that 89% of the students in the intervention group were satisfied with the openbook assessment method. The majority of students found this method effective in reducing test fear and anxiety (93.4%), increasing durability and depth of learning (90%), improving speed and facilitating learning (80%) and creating interest and satisfaction (89%) and reported completely agree. The mean score of students in the intervention group was 4.5 ±0.77 and in the control group was 2.2 ±0.85, which was statistically significant (p = 0.01). Conclusions: The open-book assessment method leads to the students’ active participation in studying and answering questions. It also facilitates deep learning, reduces anxiety, and improves the students’ learning speed. Universities should promote students’ learning, academic achievement, and motivation through innovative assessment methods.","PeriodicalId":41766,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychiatria i Neuropsychologia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70464177","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}

Material and methods In this cross?sectional observational study, patients who had recovered from COVID-19 were assessed between February and April 2021. The symptoms reported by patients were evaluated using a questionnaire developed by the authors based on the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were used to assess their depressive symptoms and anxiety. Results Of the 102 patients, 45 (44%) were men, and the mean age (± standard deviation – SD) was 52 ±13 years. The mean time interval (±SD) between COVID-19 diagnosis and the examination was 56 ±18 days. Seventy-eight (76%) patients were treated at home, while 24 (23.5%) were hospitalized. Fatigue, cognitive impairment (“brain fog”), breathlessness, and cough were the most frequently reported complaints. Median scores of the BDI, state-anxiety (STAI 1) and trait-anxiety (STAI 2) were 7 (interquartile range, IQR = 10), 38 (IQR = 13), and 40.5 (IQR = 14), respectively. Mild depressive symptoms were observed in almost 30% of patients. Women scored significantly higher than men. Conclusions Patients who have recently recovered from COVID-19 show increased anxiety and depressive symptoms, the intensity of which was more pronounced in women. From the clinical perspective, physicians should be aware of the anxiety and depressive symptoms of the post-COVID-19 syndrome.","PeriodicalId":41766,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychiatria i Neuropsychologia","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70464320","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}
