Analysis of personal evaluation of the course in relation to candidates’ competency at the organized programme of continuous medical education in the field of reanimatology in Croatia

Introduction: Final course results (MCQ and Cardiac Arrest Simulation Test) were registered for candidates that attended Croatian Resuscitation Council courses between 2002 and 2010. Questionnaire has been distributed to all participants, questions included personal evaluation of the course quality. Purpose of the study: Analysis of personal evaluation of the course quality in relation to candidates’ competency (knowledge and skills). Material and Methods:. From the total number of 1650 candidates, 793 replied to the Questionnaire. Answers were analysed according to basic education (doctor-nurse). Results: Regression analysis showed statistically significant (p<0.001) relation of positive evaluation of the course with the competency of candidates at the end of the course. It is noticed that in the group of doctors better results have those who considered the course more as the refresher of their knowledge rather than acquirement of new knowledge. Conclusions: The study confirmed the hypothesis that personal evaluation of the course is related to final results of the course. Both groups of participants (doctors and nurses) expressed their satisfaction giving high marks for the content, organization and the course in total, which is related to their high passing score at the MCQ, CAST and the final course result.
