Comparative Analysis of Self-Efficacy in Emergency Medical Education Using Beam Video Instruction and QR Code Videos

Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the impact of video practice education using beam technology and self-learning through QR code videos on the acquisition of emergency patient management skills in relation to self-efficacy. Methods The study was conducted from March 27, 2024, to March 31, 2024. It employed a randomized cross-pre-post-experimental design to assess the impact of emergency patient management skills on self-efficacy among 53 students enrolled in the Department of Paramedicine, using either beam technology or self-learning via QR code videos. Results The study found no significant difference in intravenous selection and insertion before training and during practical training using beams. However, there was a notable improvement in self-efficacy observed after viewing the QR code videos. Notably, participants who engaged in self-learning through QR code videos more than three times demonstrated the highest levels of self-efficacy, with a significant difference noted. Conclusions The findings suggest that learners enhanced their self-efficacy by repeatedly practicing difficult skill items through self-learning using QR code videos.
