Self-Instruction Video Versus Face-to-Face Instruction of Pharmacy Students' Skills in Blood Pressure Measurement.

ABSTRACT: A modern approach to clinical skill education is the use of educational videos, yet there is a shortage of literature investigating the effect of self-instruction videos (SIVs) in pharmacy students. Therefore, our objective was to investigate whether an SIV is non-inferior compared to face-to-face instruction (FTFI) in acquiring blood pressure measurement skills.

Before and after the instruction, the participants' performance was assessed by an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). The participants completed a self-assessment survey before each OSCE session. Moreover, the participants' perception and satisfaction were as
