Training für strukturierte klinische Notfalluntersuchungen bOX (ECOX)

21. September 2026 aktualisiert von: Nicolas RIFFET-VIDAL, University Hospital, Angers

Auswirkung der Verwendung des ECOX-Lehrmittels in der Notaufnahme auf OSCEs für Medizinstudenten: Randomisierte kontrollierte Studie

This study assessed whether a training toolbox called ECOX could help medical students prepare for their objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) during an emergency medicine clerkship. The hypothesis was that adding ECOX to usual training would improve examination performance and reduce examination-related anxiety. Eight 10-week clerkship rotations at Angers University Hospital, France, were randomly assigned to usual training alone or usual training plus ECOX, with four rotations in each group. All students in a rotation received the same assignment. ECOX provided a timer and reference assessment grids for practising seven-minute encounters with real patients who agreed to participate. Students could use the toolbox throughout their clerkship. Both groups completed the same three-station examination at the end of the clerkship. Examiners were unaware of group allocation. Anxiety was assessed at the beginning of the clerkship and immediately before the final examination.

Detaillierte Beschreibung

This single-center pragmatic educational trial was conducted in the Emergency Department of Angers University Hospital, France. The clerkship rotation was the unit of randomization and the medical student was the unit of analysis. Eight rotations were allocated in a 1:1 ratio in two fixed blocks of four using a sequence generated by a biostatistician in R (blockrand; seed 15). The medical school assigned students to rotations independently of the research team. The investigator enrolling students knew the allocation sequence.

Usual training included supervised clinical care, bedside teaching, simulation, and formal teaching. ECOX was offered in addition to this curriculum during intervention rotations. Students were introduced to the toolbox at rotation entry, and its use was optional. Use was recorded, but the content, duration, and quality of feedback were not assessed. No patient outcomes were collected.

Analyses were adjusted for age, sex, year of study, and previous OSCE experience. CR2 cluster-robust variance estimation with Satterthwaite degrees of freedom was introduced as a post hoc methodological improvement. Supplementary interaction, intracluster correlation, leave-one-rotation-out, and recorded-use analyses were also exploratory and post hoc.

  • Student assigned exclusively to on-call duties.
  • Previous enrolment in this study during an earlier emergency medicine rotation.

Analysis population: attendance at the final OSCE was required to measure the primary outcome. Students absent from the final OSCE were excluded from the modified intention-to-treat analysis. For students completing more than one rotation, only the first enrolled rotation was retained.

Intervention / Behandlung
Experimental: ECOX plus usual training

Students assigned by clerkship rotation received the usual emergency medicine curriculum plus access to ECOX throughout the 10-week clerkship. ECOX supported optional, timed practice with consenting real patients, followed by review against reference assessment grids and feedback when an observer was present. Students completed the standard end-of-clerkship OSCE.

Educational intervention added to usual training for one 10-week clerkship. Two boxes, each containing a timer and approximately 30 reference grids based on French national OSCE standards, were available in the emergency department. Students received instructions at rotation entry. After obtaining the patient's verbal agreement, a student performed a seven-minute encounter without prior access to the grid, then reviewed performance against the grid. Sessions could be unobserved, observed by a peer, or supervised by a physician who was not an OSCE examiner. Immediate feedback was expected when an observer was present. Students could repeat exercises as often as they wished, with no mandatory number of sessions. Use was recorded.

Kein Eingriff: Usual training alone

Students assigned by clerkship rotation received the usual emergency medicine curriculum, including supervised clinical care, bedside teaching, simulation, and formal teaching. They could use the usual preparation resources available through the faculty and emergency department. No ECOX toolbox was provided during their rotation. Students completed the same end-of-clerkship OSCE as the intervention group.

Was misst die Studie?

Primäre Ergebnismessungen

Ergebnis Maßnahme
Maßnahmenbeschreibung
Zeitfenster
Overall end-of-clerkship objective structured clinical examination score
Zeitfenster: At the end of the 10-week clerkship

Each student completed three OSCE stations: history taking, physical examination, and procedural skills. Raw maximum scores were 20, 12, and 16, respectively. Each station score was converted to a 0-20 scale. The overall score was the arithmetic mean of these three converted scores, with a possible range of 0-20. Higher scores indicate better performance. Overall scores were compared between randomized groups.

Zeitfenster
State anxiety immediately before the end-of-clerkship OSCE
Zeitfenster: Immediately before the end-of-clerkship OSCE, at approximately 10 weeks

State anxiety measured with the French State-Trait Anxiety Inventory state subscale (STAI-Y1). The total score ranges from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater state anxiety. Scores immediately before the final OSCE are compared between groups.
