The problem
Intervention: A 30-minute teaching session on mental state examination conducted to paediatric senior house officers
Who it was tested with: Paediatric trainee doctors (senior house officers) in the United Kingdom.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"A pre-teaching questionnaire was given to the paediatric SHOs. A 30-minute teaching session on the mental state exam was then carried out and a post-teaching questionnaire was then given to the same trainees." The study used a simple before-after design to measure changes in trainee confidence following a focused educational intervention.
No follow-up assessment was conducted to determine if confidence improvements persisted. Sample size not reported. No measurement of whether confidence translated to improved clinical practice or patient outcomes. No comparison group to control for placebo or Hawthorne effects.
