Background: Medical humanities (MH) uses subjects like literature, music, drama, and painting for specific purposes in medical education. We aimed to assess its medium-term impact on medical alumni whose curriculum incorporated a module on MH which was named as Sparshanam. Methods: After approval from the Institutional Review Committee of KIST Medical College, this cross-sectional online survey was performed from December 2020 to January 2021on the 2008 batch medical alumni who had experienced Sparshanam in their medical education curriculum 10 years before. A mixed modal design (both qualitative and quantitative) was applied. The participants’ perception of the module, like its strengths, weaknesses, and its contribution to personal and professional development were assessed. Results: Out of the 75 first batch alumni, 39 (52%) participated. Most of them were working in the Kathmandu valley. The perceived strengths were teamwork, interactive group sessions, and imparting a holistic perspective of patients. The Sparshanam was perceived to enhance their teamwork, communication, leadership and clinical observation skills, and ability to empathize with patients. Participants perceived it to have an important influence on their development and recommended its introduction in the undergraduate and postgraduate clinical training. Conclusion: The Sparshanam was perceived to have a significant impact on their personal and professional development.

Educating students exclusively in the hospital setting poses a challenge in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. We sought to compare the effectiveness of simulation and video-assisted learning of clinical skills, and retentivity. This is a randomized single blinded comparative study that explored the outcome of two modalities to teach about airway adjuncts and their application. The simulation group had hands-on learning on a part-task trainer guided by a lecturer while the video-assisted group watched a demonstration on a part task by the same lecturer. The learning content was the same. Students’ performance on knowledge and practical skills was compared using one best answer questions (OBA) and direct observation of procedural skills (DOPS) respectively. We observed their performance over time; immediate, 2 weeks and 8 weeks post exposure to determine retentivity. VARK questionnaire was used to identify learning styles and the relationship with both teaching modalities. Mann-Whitney U test showed a significant difference in the third DOPS assessment (U = 17.50, p = 0.011). No difference was noted in OBA scores. Friedman test was performed to assess retentivity, followed by a Wilcoxon signed-rank test which showed a significant decrease in the first to the third OBA scores in the video group (Z = -2.038, p = 0.042), unlike the simulation group which showed no change. Both groups showed no change in performance in the DOPS assessments. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that video-assisted learning may be as equally effective as simulated learning in acquiring knowledge on simple airway devices. There appeared to be no relationship between learning styles and performance in both groups. Both groups showed retention in their clinical skills. However, the video-assisted group showed decay of knowledge over time while the simulation group did not. Further research with bigger sample size and more complex devices would be needed to support our findings.
考虑到COVID-19大流行,在医院环境中对学生进行专门教育是一项挑战。我们试图比较模拟和视频辅助临床技能学习的有效性和记忆力。这是一项随机单盲比较研究,探讨了两种方式的结果,气道辅助工具及其应用的教学。模拟组在由讲师指导的部分任务培训师的指导下进行实践学习,而视频辅助组则观看同一讲师对部分任务的演示。学习内容是一样的。采用最佳回答问题法(OBA)和直接观察程序技能法(DOPS)分别比较学生在知识和实践技能方面的表现。我们观察了他们一段时间的表现;暴露后即刻、2周和8周测定保留率。使用VARK问卷来确定学习风格及其与两种教学方式的关系。Mann-Whitney U检验显示第三次DOPS评估差异有统计学意义(U = 17.50, p = 0.011)。在OBA得分上没有发现差异。采用Friedman检验来评估记忆力,随后进行Wilcoxon符号秩检验,结果显示视频组第一至第三OBA得分显著下降(Z = -2.038, p = 0.042),而模拟组则没有变化。两组在DOPS评估中的表现都没有变化。结论:我们的研究结果表明,视频辅助学习可能与模拟学习在简单气道设备上获取知识同样有效。两组学生的学习方式和表现之间似乎没有关系。两组患者的临床技能都有所保留。然而,随着时间的推移,视频辅助组显示出知识的衰减,而模拟组则没有。进一步的研究需要更大的样本量和更复杂的设备来支持我们的发现。
