Evaluation of The Clinical Supervision to Clinical Rotation Students In a Faculty of Medicine
Abstract: The clinical
education at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Muhammadiyah Makassar, must
be completed in four semesters. During that period, the students are educated
and supervised by specialists or doctors on duty at the hospital. Since the
first implementation of the clerkship clinical system at this university,
evaluation on the implementation of clinical supervision provided by lecturers
to the students for their clinical clinic had never been conducted. Therefore,
it was necessary to evaluate the clinical supervision provided by the clinical
instructor to the students for their clinical clerkship at FK-Unismuh. This
study aims to evaluate the clinical supervision provided by lecturers to the
clinical clerkship students at FK-Unismuh Makassar.
Method: This study was a descriptive survey. The subjects were 123
clinical clerkship students of FK-Unismuh Makassar who had completed clinical
rotation at the department of Internal Medicine, Pediatric, Surgery, and
Obstetrics and Gynecology. The research subjects were grouped based on their
clinical rotation that had been undertaken. The instruments used were the
Clinical Teaching Effectiveness Instrument (CTEI) and the students’ log book for
their clinical activities. The collected data were analyzed descriptively.
Results: The effectiveness of clinical supervision showed that the
overall average total score of CTEI was more than 3 with a range from 3.52
(internal medicine) to 3.84 (surgery). The lowest clinical supervision was at
setting up a good time for both services and teaching (3.50). The average
frequency of supervision received in Internal Medicine was 91.2 times. The
average number of timely, late, and delayed supervision was 40 times (44%), 23
times (26%), and 28 times (30%), respectively. The average supervision duration
of under 30 minutes, 30-60 minutes, and more than 60 minutes was 63 times
(69%), 16 times (18%), and 12 times (13%), respectively.
Conclusion: The effectiveness of the overall clinical supervision at 4
departments was rated ‘good’ by clerkship students. However, there were some
items of the clinical supervision which were still undervalued by the students.
At the Department of Internal Medicine, the number of students accepted uneven
supervision, much clinical supervision was carried out not on time, and
duration of supervision was inadequate.
