Background & Objective: Error Board Reporting (EBR) is a comprehensive approach for quickly reporting and analyzing errors that occur during surgical operations. This study assesses the influence of EBR on student error frequency and proficiency during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the goal of enhancing clinical teaching.
Material & Methods: This research used an experimental design that included a pretest and posttest to investigate the impact of the intervention on two distinct groups: the intervention group receiving EBR training and the control group undergoing conventional training. The participants were randomized to either EBR or conventional training. Both groups had pretests and posttests, with logbook results included as part of the final assessment process. Furthermore, a satisfaction survey was conducted after the study to gauge participant satisfaction levels. The data gathered from this study underwent rigorous statistical analysis employing various tests, including the Shapiro-Wilk test for assessing normality, the independent t-test for comparing across groups, the paired t-test for comparing within-groups, and multiple linear regression analysis.
Results: The study found no statistically significant differences in age, gender, semester, or age between the intervention and control groups. Furthermore, these characteristics did not have a significant influence on the final scores. However, posttest results and scores from post-practicum logbooks demonstrated significant differences between the two groups (p < 0.001 and p = 0.002, respectively). EBR training significantly improved surgical procedural mastery skills (p = 0.002) and self-efficacy (p = 0.001). A paired t-test demonstrated a statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding their mean pretest and posttest scores (p < 0.001). EBR decreased student errors 86% of the time, effectively promoted a positive spirit, improved critical thinking, and strengthened critical thinking skills (76%).
Conclusion: Incorporating EBR into educational practices can minimize errors and enhance performance during the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing patients' quality of life.
