Comparison of Professional Standardized and Amateur Standardized Patients in OSCE

Abstract

Purpose:The standardized patient (SP) is a person carefully trained to represent a real patient case for consistent and accurate use in student performance evaluation and/or training, has added a very important dimension in OSCE. The purpose of this study is compared a well-trained professional SP (PSP) and a amateur SP (ASP) in OSCE.Methods: We surveyed 378 students apprentices and staffs involving OSCE of Daegu-Kyungbuk Consortium and analysed the validity between the PSP and ASP after OSCE.Results: Of 92 total stations in which students were evaluated by staff evaluator, SP were used in 47 stations (48%). Of the 47 stations, professional SP 7 stations (16%). The questionnaires were made to know the effectiveness and realistics of SP. The results were different between station used PSP and ASP. Moreover, it was significantly different between the staffs and the students. The SP can offer advantages such as availability, adaptability and effectivity. If trained well, they also can provide positive effects to the students and the staffs. The PSP provides efficient and reliable opportunity to assess clinical skills in a safe situation without any harm to the real patients. Conclusion:It is suggested that the use of SP is stimulating and challenging way of evaluating the OSCE. Also, It appeared to be financially and availably feasible if it commonly owned in the boundary of the land such Daegu-Kyungbuk Consortium.

Correlations of Clinical Assessment Tools with Written Examinations

“…OSCE의 경우도 1975년 처음으로 소개된 이후 [3], 국 내에는 1994년 서울대학교에서 처음 도입한 이후 시험 적으로 이용되고 있으며, 이에 대한 타당도 및 도입 방안 에 대한 연구들이 진행되어 왔다 [4,5,6,7,8,9,10].…”

“…CPX나 OSCE에 대한 평가의 우수성이나 타당도에 대 한 연구는 이미 외국의 몇몇 연구들을 통해 입증되어 왔 다. 최근 CPX나 OSCE에 대한 국내의 연구들을 [4,5,6,7,11,12,13] 뚜렷하게 나타났다(p<0.05)(Table 3).…”

Validity and Reliability of a Clinical Performance Examination using Standardized Patients

“…, 수행평가의 신뢰도나 타당도 를 검증한 소수의 연구에서도 평가자 간의 일치도나 시험시기나 실험실 간의 평균 비교 정도만 보고되었다 (Jung et al, 2005;Lee et al, 2001;Park et al, 2003). (Mukohara et al, 2005;Park, Kim, Kim, Choi, & Kim, 1998;Roberts & Brown, 1990;Stillman et al, 1990;Suh, Lee, Kwun, & Kang, 1998;Yoo, 2001;Yoo & Yoo, 2003).…”
