"Group Based Reverse OSCE" for Teaching Mechanical Ventilation
Iran70 participantsStarted 2025-01-10
Plain-language summary
Introduction: Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a critical skill for healthcare professionals, yet traditional teaching methods often fail to adequately prepare students. This study evaluates the effectiveness of an innovative Group-Based Reverse OSCE.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 70 nursing students randomly assigned to either the Reverse OSCE group (n=35) or traditional lecture-based group (n=35). The intervention consisted of a 10-hour workshop featuring five interactive OSCE stations covering ventilator hardware, settings, modes, and alarm management. Knowledge and skills were assessed using validated pre- and post-tests, with statistical analysis performed via independent and paired t-tests (SPSS v25).

Inclusion Criteria:
students from the nursing discipline who were in their clinical internship or clerkship students who completed relevant coursework in respiratory physiology, and had successfully passed the theoretical course in critical care.
no prior participation in similar ventilator training workshops within the past six months, demonstrating willingness for voluntary participation, and being able to attend the full 10-hour workshop (including both theoretical and practical components).
Exclusion Criteria:
partial attendance in the workshop, withdrawal at any stage of the study the occurrence of acute medical or emergency conditions interfering with participation or failure to complete the pre- and post-intervention assessment tools.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
