Prospective evaluation of interactive project of Emergency Medicine Exam with the use of multimedia computer devices.
Journal Title: Critical Care Innovations - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Digitisation and implementation of IT solutions is contemporarily an intrinsic element while carrying out emergency medical activities. However, the system of education and evaluation of paramedics is conducted in a traditional way in Poland. The aim of the paper was to implement and critically evaluate the project of Emergency Medicine Exam conducted with the use of multimedia computer devices. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The undergraduates took part in a test consisting of fifteen questions concerning medical emergency activities conducted in a traditional (written) and interactive (computer) form. An original tool was developed and it enabled us to apply interactive tasks and centralize statistics. The achieved results underwent parametric tests (T-Student test, T – test for dependent samples with Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient) at significance coefficient of p<0,05. RESULTS: Average percentage results of both forms of the test including all the question categories indicated a statistically significant difference in the test with both samples for averages , where p=0,001 (59,09 % ± 12,16 vs 49,36 % ± 17,61). The number of people who did not succeed in passing the test at 51% passing point was 6 in the traditional test and 10 in the interactive one. Satisfaction analysis indicated the highest mark for detailed feedback (Me=5,95; from 1 to 6 scale). CONCLUSIONS: Multimedia computer devices may be efficiently used while implementing Emergency Medicine Exam. The evaluation of non-technical skills, thanks to the introduction of interactive tasks, enables a more detailed assessment of the competence of candidates for paramedics.
