Abstract: (19 Views)
Aims: The operating room is a critical area of the hospital where personnel must constantly be at the patient's bedside to perform their role. Therefore, the correct and effective teaching of clinical skills to the students of this field is of great importance. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of general surgery clinical guidelines on self-confidence, self-efficacy, and clinical decision-making of surgical students.
Materials & Methods: The present semi-experimental study was conducted in 2022 on 30 operating room students undergoing internship in medical centers affiliated with Zahedan University of Medical Sciences, Zahedan, Iran. The subjects were randomly divided into two control and intervention groups. In the control group, training was carried out in the usual manner without clinical guidance. In contrast, in the intervention group, clinical guidance for general surgery was provided to the subjects at the beginning of the semester. Before and after the intervention, participants completed standard PEI self-confidence questionnaires, the Standard Student Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (CASES) for academic self-efficacy, and a Clinical Decision-Making Skill Assessment Questionnaire by Lowry et al. The data were then analyzed using appropriate analytical tests.
Result: The analysis of the data obtained from the research indicated that the groups did not differ significantly in terms of demographic information; however, the average self-confidence, self-efficacy, and decision-making skills in the two groups had a significant difference after the intervention (P<0.05). Moreover, the average of these variables before and after the intervention did not result in a substantial difference in the control group (P<0.05); nevertheless, this difference was significant in the intervention group.
Conclusion: The results of this research indicate that the use of clinical guidelines can be effective in enhancing the self-confidence, self-efficacy, and decision-making skills of operating room students, thereby improving the quality of education and students’ learning outcomes.
