Summary: | Background: There are many methods in assessing clinical competence. OSCE, clinical long
case and clinical short case are among the widely used method in medical programmes in
Malaysia
Objective: To determine the correlation of clinical bedside performance with the overall
OSCE performance, communication skills OSCE and psychomotor skills OSCE.
Methods: Fifty-seven undergraduate medical students sat for the Professional II (final)
examination for the session of 2016/2017 in Faculty of Medicine, University Sultan Zainal
Abidin, Terengganu, Malaysia. The clinical components exam was 12 interactive OSCE
stations, one long case and three short cases. OSCE comprised of seven communication skills
stations and five psychomotor skills stations. Their results were analysed using SPSS Version
22. Pearson’s correlation test was applied to determine the correlation between bedside
performance and the three variables.
Results: The correlation coefficient (r) values for OSCE performance, communication skills
performance and psychomotor skills performance are 0.488 (p<0.001), 0.369 (p=0.005) and
0.458 (p<0.001) respectively.
Conclusion: There was statistically significant, fair to good positive correlation between
overall, communication skills, and psychomotor skills OSCE and clinical bedside marks.
Psychomotor skills performance showed better correlation than communication skills. Steps
may need to be taken to improve the correlation especially in communication skills stations. |
