Background: One of the areas of competence expected from a doctor in Indonesia is clinical skills. It will be assessed in the National Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). In the Faculty of Medicine Airlangga University, there are four clinical skill modules in second to fifth semester. Afterward, students go to clinical posting to apply their clinical skill and practice profesionalism to real patients. The objective of this study is to measure the correlation between clinical skill examination score, educational environment, and Grade Point Average (GPA) during clinical posting and National OSCE’s score.Method: This study used cross sectional approach. Data were obtained from 143 national OSCE’s participant. Primary data obtained from clinical posting’s educational environment questionnaire. Secondary data consisted of five categorized scores from clinical skill examination during preclinic; clinical posting GPA; and National OSCE’s scores. We conducted three different analyses: Spearman correlation test to measure the correlation of clinical skills examination scores to National OSCE’s scores; Pearson correlation test to measure the correlation of clinical posting GPA to OSCE’s scores; and correlation of clinical posting’s questionnaire to OSCE’s scores.Results: Clinical skills examination score was weakly correlated with OSCE’s score (r= 0,189, p< 0,05). Clinical posting GPA was also correlated with OSCE’s score (r= 0,417, p<0,001). But, there was no correlation of clinical posting’s educational environment with OSCE’s score (p>0,05).Conclusions: There is a correlation between clinical skills examination scores and academic achievement during clinical posting with OSCE’s score. But, there is no correlation between clinical posting’s educational environment with OSCE’s score.
Background: The influence of extracurricular activities on academic achievement has been studied in several studies. Some studies support that extracurricular activities can negatively impact academic achievement but other studies emphasize the positive effects of extracurricular activities. Extracurricular activities discussed in this study is the activity of organizing students as measured by organizational activities and committees. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of organizational activity measured by organizational activities and the committees that are followed by students on academic achievement.Method: Cross-sectional study, using questionnaires distributed to 221 medical students class of 2014 in medical faculty of Airlangga University.Results: This research was analyzed multivariate using R program by using logistic regression test to know the influence of independent variable to dependent variable. From the results of this study found that the organizational activity measured from the student organization and committee activities have no significant effect on academic achievement.Conclusion: organizational activities and committees play an important role in predicting the activity of organizing students, but from the results of this study found that the organizational activity measured from student organizations and committee activities have no significant effect on academic achievement.

The study used modified SAHL-E test and modified questionnaire for knowledge of pre-eclampsia. Data processing used Chi square. Results: There was a significant relationship between health literacy and the knowledge of pre-eclampsia (p= 0.029).

Background: Recorded lecture is a type of learning media which the lecturers record their voices when lecturing. This type of media is popular in many universities outside Indonesia. Faculty of Medicine Universitas Airlangga is developing electronic learning using recorded lecture in 2016. This study aimed to learn the experience of college student about the usage of recorded lecture, the impact to their learning style, and their hopes about the implementation of recorded lecture in Faculty of Medicine Universitas Airlangga. Method: This qualitative study applied content analysis design. The variable used are age, gender, intelligence quotient, learning style, learning equipment, experience when using learning media, and busyness in student affairs. Results: Eleven subjects are interviewed. The results are variably different between the subject. There are seven themes arise from the analysis results, for instance: 1) classical class alone was not enough, need another alternative; 2) the recorded lecture was similar with the one in internet; 3) used recorded lecture just for a few times; 4) recorded lecture was very beneficial; 5) the recorded lecture was too long; 6) college students are very busy outside the class; 7) a wish for the improvement og the recorded lectures, both quality and quality. Conclusion: The experience felt by medical education students on the use of recordings still varies. In general, students feel helped by the recording of lectures, on the other hand there are students who are not satisfied with the quality and quantity of lecture recordings provided by the campus. Massive and comprehensive improvements are needed in all aspects of providing lecture records, both in terms of teachers and in terms of technology support Keywords: recorded lecture, content analysis, qualitative research, medical student, electronic learning.
Body size is strongly considered in making medical decisions, selecting medical instruments, drug dosing, and asessment of children’s growth. References of body size based on Caucasian population are widely used nowadays. Unfortunately, these references might have significant differences with others population. A specific study in Indonesian population is needed especially to make its own reference of growth. This research is aimed to get body weight (BW) data from children aged 7-11 years in Surabaya. This research was conducted to 656 children aged 7-11 years. Anthropometer was used to get BW data. Measurement was performed in the morning. All data were plotted to WHO growth chart. Based on the data percentils, we created BW growth chart for specific age and sex.We found an increasing trend with increasing age especially in girls. The increasing trend is better observed in girls. BW data which was plotted to WHO growth chart revealed that in many younger children had normal body weight and even overweight, unfortunately when entering pubertal age some of these children were underweight. Older children has lineary correlated with BW. Data plotting to WHO growth chart reveals that the younger children grew normally according to the reference, but then at later phase they did not follow the reference. This trend is similar to a previous studies, so that this strenghten our supposition that the difference between the WHO Growth Chart and the body growth of children in Indonesian area is not caused by lack of nutrition.
