Abstract

Introduction: The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a fundamental tool in medical practice. At the Faculty of Medicine of Tunis (FMT), it is usually taught during a lecture. FMT's Physiology Department has innovated its teaching by introducing simulation workshops.


Aim: This study aimed to assess the students' satisfaction with teaching ECG by simulation.


Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study, carried out in April 2018, including 160 students in the first year of the first cycle of medical studies, divided into 10 groups. The students attended an ECG simulation workshop at the FMT media library and then answered a satisfaction form and a self-assessment questionnaire for the workshop.


Results: More than 50% of the students answered either satisfied or very satisfied with the duration of the course, the room, the method of the teacher, and their participation in the course of the session. Regarding teaching support, 19.3% of the students were very satisfied with the practice of the ECG on a mannequin versus 25% for the practice on a voluntary student. For the number of students per group, 42.1% of students were dissatisfied.


Conclusion: This study highlights the weak points of this simulation workshop in order to improve it. Then, it helps to build students' confidence and encourage their adherence to the feedback process. Finally, it shows students' enthusiasm for new teaching methods such as simulation. It would be interesting to generalize this evaluation process for the improvement of medical education and the training of future doctors.
