Procedural skills learning using a combination of simulated patients with manikin improved the achievement of intravenous cannulation skills.
Physicians are required to have competency in performing clinical procedures that consist of technical skills, communication skills and other professional behavior. However, these skills are often taught separately while studying in the clinical skills laboratory. This study aimed to determine the effect of procedural skills learning using a combination of simulated patients with manikin on the achievement of students’ procedural skills
This experimental study used a post-test only control group design. The research subjects were 60 third semester students taken with cluster random sampling and random assignment to split the subjects into the control group (learning only with manikin) and the intervention group (learning combination using patients and manikin). The measured skill was the intravenous cannulation skill using the Integrated Procedural Performance Instrument (IPPI) rating scale and questionnaires on the perceptions of procedural skill learning. The statistical analysis used Mann-Whitney test and Independent t-tests.
Learning procedural skill combined with simulated patient will bring the student more close to real context
The mean value of the total IPPI rating scale of the intervention group was significantly higher (p <0,01;ES >0,8) than that of the control group.
The author would like to thank Gandes Retno Rahayu and Bambang Djarwoto who gave precious feedback about the methodology. They would also like to thank Wening Sari as YARSI Skills Lab Coordinator and the many students, staffs, and also simulated patients who contributed to the success of this research.
