Academic achievement is an indication level of learning effort by someone. One of them is grade point average (GPA). Some researches showed correlation between GPA and medical competency test. This medical competency test consists of two parts: multiple choice question computer-based test (CBT) and an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). This cross sectional study aimed to determine the correlation of GPA with CBT scores for the period of November 2018 - August 2019 on students of Medical Faculty Riau University. The number of samples in this study were 149 students. GPA assessment were obtained from preclinical and clinical data of GPA. The majority GPA results are included in the value of 2.75-3.49 and have a percentage of 94% (preclinical), 96% (clinical) and 98.7% (combined). CBT score <66 were obtained from 12.8% student while 87,2% students get score ≥ 66. Spearman test showed significant correlation between GPA and CBT scores of students.

Background: The wound care skills checklist in objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) should be valid and reliable. Thus, the reliability test of the wound care skills checklist is needed. Purpose of the study was to identify the reliability of the wound care skills checklist.Methods: This study is a descriptive non-experimental quantitative research with a cross-sectional study design. This study was conducted in the School of Nursing, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia. The number of respondents was 94 second-year students of this school of nursing. Inter-rater reliability was performed by 2 raters during OSCE. Kappa and Percent agreement (PA) were used to analyze the reliability of the checklist.Results: Inter-rater reliability of the wound care skills checklist is categorized as good based on kappa value (0.7613) and acceptable based on PA value (89.36%). The results of the twenty-two item checklist were divided into five categories. Sixteen of the twenty-two items on the wound care skills checklist are included in the first category in which kappa category (≥0.41) and PA (>70%) are acceptable. One item is in the second category which has unacceptable value of kappa and PA, one item is in the third category which has low kappa value (0.3974) and high PA (89.36%), one item is in the fourth category which has a kappa value of 0, and three items are in the fifth category which has negative kappa value.Conclusions: Inter-rater reliability of the wound care skills checklist OSCE in this nursing school can be categorized as good and acceptable.

ABSTRACT Background: Challenges related to the residency programme differ according to residents’ roles, interactions, culture, responsibilities and expectations. Aim: This study aims to explore the challenges faced by emergency medicine physicians during their residency programme. We also aim to investigate the influence of several demographic variables on their training experience. Method: This is a cross-sectional study, conducted in Saudi Arabia from June, 2021 to July 2021, using a survey designed by the author.  Results: The total number of participants was 37. Of these, 24.3% (n=9) were R1 residents, 10.8% (n=4) were R2, 35.1% (n=13) were R3, and 29.7% (n=11) were R4. While most of the participants (89%) clearly understood which reference to use for studying, only 56.7% had a clear understanding of how to study for the exams. Reading club was advocated by 72% of participants, and only half the participants had a positive perception of leading, preparing, and discussing topics during academic activity. Of all the residency levels, R3 residents were the most supportive of having expert physician guidance during ED procedures, p=0.04. Other factors given more importance by R3 residents than by other levels were mentorship, p=0.051, and having a course review for the exam, p=0.001. Conclusion: This study uncovers several challenges reported by participants from different residency levels. We noted that the R3 training level, being a period of transition from junior to senior level, is a significant period requiring more attention; more emphasis on mentorship and reading club is advocated.

Background: Healthcare workers (HCW) are a high-risk group for COVID-19. The aim of this study is to estimate the risk of acquiring COVID-19 among HCW from Mexican Institute of Social Security in Tijuana, Mexico. Methods: A cross-sectional study from Epidemiologic Surveillance Online Notification System database was conducted, including entries from Tijuana, starting March 11th until May 1st 2020. Multiple imputation was performed for the SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR result variable where data was missing. Chi-squared statistic with Yates correction and OR were calculated to estimate the risk of HCW compared to the general population (GP). Results: From a total of 10,216 entries, only 6,256 patients were included for analysis. Being a HCW was significantly associated with a higher risk of acquiring COVID-19, OR=1.730 (CI 95% 1.459-2.050). Nurses had double the risk (OR=2.339; CI 95% 1.804-3.032) than the GP. The cluster of physicians only had an additional risk for COVID-19 of 2.8% (OR=1.828; CI 95% 0.766-1.380). Resident physicians doubled the risk of the GP (OR=2.166; CI 95% 0.933-5.025). Meanwhile, interns had a possible protecting factor (OR=0.253; CI 95% 0.085-0.758). Among medical specialties, emergency medicine has the highest risk (OR=4.071; CI 95% 1.090-15.208), followed by anesthesiologists (OR=2.806; CI 95% 0.544-14.466). Conclusion: HCW have up to 73% more risk of acquiring COVID-19 than the GP in Tijuana, Mexico. Nurses were the group at highest risk of all HCW, as a result of prolonged and close contact with patients. Emergency medicine and anesthesiology were the medical specialties most at risk because they frequently perform aerosol-generating procedures.

Background: Blood pressure measurements in childhood are an important clinical examination. Present study was done to evaluate the normal range of blood pressure (BP) in children aged 6-12 years and to find its relationship with regard to age, sex, height and weight criteria and comparing the values with the available standards.Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study was done in primary and middle schools of Chennai from January 2016 to May 2017. Three readings of blood pressure were recorded for each subject and were correlated with age, gender, socioeconomic status and anthropometry. Data was analysed on SPSS 20.0. P value of <0.05 was considered significantResults: A total of 2002 children (1026 boys, 976 girls) of age between 6-12 years were examined over 18 months. There was an upward trend in both systolic (r = 0.437, P<0.001) and diastolic BP (r = 0.386, P <0.001) with age. There was no statistically significant difference in mean systolic and diastolic BP with gender (P = 0.10), weight (P = 0.10) and height (P = 0.10). There was a statistically significant difference between the mean systolic and diastolic BP between low and high socio-economic groups (P <0.0001). The proportion of children with hypertension was 9.54% with a slight female preponderance.Conclusions: Blood pressure measurement in children is pivotal in clinical examination. It shows a linear relationship with age and varies across socio-economic status. Periodic recording of BP would enable identify hypertension at an early age.
