The Mediating Effect of Feedback Quality on the Relationship Between Clinical Simulation Exercise and Clinical Competence of Radiologic Technology Interns

Abstract

This study aims to determine the Feedback Quality’s mediating effect on the relationship between the Clinical Simulation Exercises and the Clinical Competence of the Interns. Research Design used in this research are Non-experimental quantitative study is utilized in the study, and a descriptive-correlational research design is used to identify the levels of feedback quality, simulation exercise, and competence of the interns. An adapted and modified survey questionnaire was distributed to 25 fourth-year radiologic technology interns. Where the IV is the level of Clinical Simulation Exercise, the DV is the level of Clinical Competence, and the MV is the level of Feedback Quality. The study was conducted at Davao City, Philippines higher education institution. Results showed that the overall level of Clinical Simulation Exercise has a mean of 4.16 (High), the level of Clinical Competence has an overall mean of 4.37 (Very Highly Observed), and the level of Feedback Quality has 4.34 (Strongly Agree) overall mean. Additionally, in identifying the significant relationship between the variables, results show that all of the relationships between variables have a significant relationship with one another. Lastly, in identifying if the feedback quality significantly mediates the IV and DV of the study, findings present that there is a partial mediation from the feedback quality to the relationship between the IV and DV of the study. In conclusion, the study presents that all of the relationships of the variables have a correlation to one another. Additionally, all of the levels of the presented variables have shown a high overall mean or results. lastly, the mediating effect partially mediates the IV and DV of the study by 61.4% presented by the results of the study.
