Pertinence du test de concordance de script dans l’evaluation des competences en cardiologie

الملخص EN

The Script concordance test (SCT) evaluates clinical reasoning in context of uncertainty.

Aims: Evaluate cardiac training influence on cardiology skills by SCT in students of Sfax faculty of Medicine.

We compared SCT results in students who performed a cardiology training (group 1) and those who have not made such a training (group 2).

These results were also compared with a review of prior knowledge in cardiology.

The study focused on 44 students: 22 (50%) in group 1 and 22 (50%) in group 2.

Their marks in the examination of knowledge in cardiology of the group 2 were better than the group 1.

Comparable (80,56±6,37 vs 65,45±9,80, p<0,001).

After the cardiology training, SCT results weren’t different between the 2 groups (53,89±13,1 groupe 1 vs 56,04±7,92 groupe 2) (p = 0,51).

In group 1, 16 students (68%) have improved their range when 3 students only of the group 2 did it (P<0,001).

The SCT results confirm the beneficial role of cardiology training on acquiring clinical skills.
