Medical Student Inhaler Training Assessment Scores and Clinical Performance

Assessment data from a study evaluating an intensive multidevice inhaler training intervention for fourth-year medical students. The dataset includes pre- and post-training multiple-choice question scores, structured inhaler technique assessment results for four devices, and real-patient clinical performance assessments. Data were shared by safari binlee on figshare in 2026 under a CC BY 4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Evaluating the effectiveness of structured inhaler training based on pre- and post-test MCQ scores.
• Comparing student competency across different inhaler devices (MDI, DPI, Turbuhaler, Handihaler) based on structured assessment results.
• Analyzing the correlation between simulated training and real-patient clinical performance based on patient error identification and correction assessments.

Strengths

• Includes pre- and post-intervention data, allowing for within-subject analysis of training impact.
• Assesses competency on four specific inhaler devices: MDI, DPI, Turbuhaler, and Handihaler.
• Links training outcomes to real-patient clinical performance, a feature mentioned in the description.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small at 115.0 KB, indicating a limited scope likely from a single study cohort.
