Station-Wise OSCE Scores for Public Health Students in a Community-Based Education Program

Rubeena Zakar's dataset contains station-wise performance scores from an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) for undergraduate public health students. The data was collected as part of a mixed-methods study assessing a community-based education module in maternal and child health in a semi-urban setting in Lahore, Pakistan. The dataset was last updated on 2026-06-01 and is a 5.5 KB Excel file.

Use Cases

• Analyzing student competency development based on OSCE station scores mentioned in the description
• Evaluating the effectiveness of community-based education modules on practical skills
• Correlating quantitative OSCE results with qualitative findings on empathy and cultural sensitivity
• Benchmarking student performance in specific maternal and child health domains

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• Quantitative assessments include specific mean quiz and MCQ exam scores (80.2% and 81.5%) with standard deviations reported.
• Study design includes pre- and post-intervention analysis with statistical significance (p < 0.001) reported for multiple competency domains.

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 5.5 KB size suggests a very limited scope, likely containing summary or aggregated scores rather than raw individual responses.
