Abstrakt: Introduction-Aim: Clinical reasoning in situations of uncertainty is a skill to be acquired from initial training. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical reasoning ability in a context of uncertainty of health science students using the Script Concordance Test (SCT).
Methods: This was a cross-sectional and descriptive study which included students in the third year of the National License in Anesthesia-Resuscitation, with their consent, and a panel of experts made up of ten members. The tool chosen was a TCS composed of 60 items which dealt with frequent and serious themes in general Anesthesia-Resuscitation.
Results: We included 16 students. The average time to complete the test was 46.7 minutes±12.42 [95% CI; 37.81 -55.59] for experts and 54.38 minutes ±8.92 [95% CI; 49.62-59.13] for students. The average score obtained by the experts, reported out of 100, was 80.8±4.09 [95% CI; 77.90-83.75]. The average score of the students was 54.78±9.14 [95% CI; 49.91-59.65].
Conclusion: With the implementation of TCS as an assessment tool in health sciences, students demonstrated an increased capacity for reasoning in complex situations, as reflected in their average scores.
