Midwifery Preceptor Training Assessments from Sierra Leone, 2023-2024

Between 2023 and 2024, a study evaluated a six-month midwifery preceptor training program in two schools in Sierra Leone. The dataset contains results from 25 assessments, including written tests, objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs), and self-assessments, for 20 participants. It was authored by Brittney J. van de Water and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Evaluating the effectiveness of low-dose, high-frequency training interventions based on pre-post assessment scores.
• Analyzing improvements in specific clinical skills like manual vacuum aspiration based on OSCE results.
• Studying the relationship between self-assessed confidence and objective competence measures in healthcare training.

Strengths

• Includes results from 25 distinct assessment types, providing a multi-faceted evaluation.
• Data shows statistically significant improvements (p < 0.0001 for written tests) for a cohort of 20 participants.
• Covers a specific six-month intervention period with clear pre-post design for evaluation.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset's 9.5 KB size suggests a limited scope, likely containing summary or aggregated results rather than raw individual-level data.
