Effect of Engaging Trainees by Assessing Peer Performance: A Randomised Controlled Trial Using Simulated Patient Scenarios

Table 2

The checklist scoring form. The intervention group used the checklist to assess peer performance during the observational phases. In addition, the facilitator and the two raters assessing in-training performance and performance two weeks post-course used the same checklist.

	A—Airway	Tick the box if performed
1	Assess if the airway is open (patient talks/has normal respiration)
2	Ask helper to apply Hudson mask with reservoir and connect 10–15 L O2
	B—Breathing	Tick the box if performed
3	Assess respiration (looks, listens, feels)
4	Ask for respiratory frequency
5	Ask helper to apply pulse oximetry
6	Perform auscultation of the lungs
	C—Circulation	Tick the box if performed
7	Ask helper to perform blood pressure measurement
8	Ask helper to assess central pulse
9	Ask helper to measure ECG
10	Assess the skin: color/temperature
11	Assess capillary response
12	Perform auscultation of the heart
13	Ask helper to do a intravenous canulation
14	Ask helper to do an ABG
15	Ask helper to take out blood samples
	D—Disability	Tick the box if performed
16	Assess if the patient is concious (AVPU/GCS)
17	Assess and estimate size of pupiles
18	Ask for blood sugar value.
19	Examine motor function of limbs
	E—Exposure/Enviroment	Tick the box if performed
20	Ask helper to measure temperature
21	Head-to-toe examination
	Analysis	Tick the box if performed
22	Summary of ABCDE assessment
23	Correct analysis of ABG
	Diagnostics and treatment	Tick the box if performed
24	Propose relevant diagnosis
25	Outline clinical course
	Global rating:	Scale: 1–5 (Acceptable ≥ 3)
	Overall assessment of team leader’s performance
