Dr. B Sreekanth Rao

Background: The art of bandaging can be mastered only by constant practice. A carelessly or improperly applied bandage can cause discomfort to the patient and may imperil his life. DOAP (Demonstration -Observation - Assistance - Performance): A practical session that allows the student to observe a demonstration, assist the performer, perform in a simulated environment, perform under supervision or perform independently. Limited opportunities for practical training, inadequate feedback, and inconsistent instruction methods may further hinder the learning process and proficiency development in bandaging. The reason CBME programme is drafted is to fill up deficiencies like these in imparting effective training to structure every Indian Medical Graduate competent. Objectives: 1. To train MBBS interns to effectively apply crepe bandage by DOAP method. 2. To know the perception of MBBS interns about crepe bandage application by DOAP method. 3. To evaluate the number of attempts required to apply crepe bandage appropriately. Materials and methods: Setting: Study done from April 2024 to October 2024 at OPD, wards, in Bhaskar medical college. Institute ethical clearance taken, informed consent taken from the participants. Target population: Simulated Patients, among the MBBS interns.Sample size for quantitative studies / Sample selection for qualitative studiesAll the hundred MBBS intern students will individually perform and will be assessed by orthopaedic faculty as assessors in the study. Study design / Methods used for qualitative studies: DOAP (Demonstration -Observation - Assistance - Performance) Statistical analysis or thematic analysis: Likert scale. Paired t-test.
