A Mixed-Methods Analysis of the Six Core Competencies and AI Literacy Reflected in Medical Students' Self-Assessment During Small-Group Discussions

This study aims to examine how the six Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) core competencies and AI literacy are reflected in medical students' self-assessment narratives following small-group discussions. A mixed-methods design will be used to analyze approximately 500 de-identified self-assessment reflection reports submitted by fourth-year medical students who completed an integrated pathology and pharmacology small-group discussion course at National Taiwan University during the 2023-2026 academic years.

Procedure Manual-Based Simulation Training to Improve Operating Room Nurses' Core Competencies

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a procedure manual-based simulation training program in improving the core competencies of operating room nurses in a Cambodian national hospital. Operating room nurses play a critical role in maintaining patient safety, assisting the surgical team, and ensuring efficient surgical workflow. This study will use a single-group quasi-experimental pre-post design. Baseline data will be collected before the intervention to assess operating room nurses' core competencies, interprofessional collaboration, job satisfaction, and surgical procedure duration. Participants will receive structured educational sessions and simulation-based training based on standardized surgical procedure manuals. After the training phase, nurses will implement the procedure manuals during real surgical procedures for six weeks. End-line data will be collected to evaluate improvements in competency levels, teamwork, job satisfaction, and surgical efficiency.
