Background and purpose: Despite the importance of acquiring clinical skills and competencies in medical students, the studies demonstrated that students do not develop the necessary clinical skills. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the clinical-practical skills training status of medical interns at Qazvin University of Medical Sciences.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on all incoming 2015 and 2016 interns in 2022. The participants were divided into two groups. The first group of interns who were at their first of 3-4 months of internship. The second group of interns who were at their end of 2-3 months of the internship period. The training status of their clinical-practical skills was collected in the form of self-assessment using a standardized questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.87 and analyzed using SPSS 20 software.
Results: In the self-assessment, The skills of measuring pulse rate, respiratory rate, bladder catheter, blood pressure, and gastric catheter from the first skill category and suturing skills from the second category had the highest mean scores. The difference in the mean skill scores of the second category was significant between the two groups (P<0.05); nonetheless, this difference was not significant in the other two categories (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Considering the low self-assessment score of some clinical skills and the crucial role of clinical skills as the most critical source of skill acquisition, improving the quality of education in this center and expanding its activities can be a suitable solution to solve this problem.
