Article Synopsis
- Objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE) help assess medical students' skills, and this study evaluated third-year students' roles as standardized patients in these exams.
- In a pilot session, their OSCE scores were compared with third-year students who did not participate, revealing that those involved had significantly better scores (17 vs. 14.5 out of 20).
- Most participating students felt that being standardized patients reduced their stress, enhanced their preparedness, and improved their communication skills, indicating the potential for broader implementation of this approach in medical education.
Introduction: In nursing homes, where residents are at elevated risk for malnutrition, the specific additive effect of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on weight loss has not yet been adequately evaluated. This study aimed to determine the factors independently associated with weight loss in nursing home residents who survived the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, whether they have contracted COVID-19 or not.
Methods: This research was a retrospective study conducted in three nursing homes.
