Failure Factors & Prediction Model of Indonesian Medical Doctor Proficiency & Competency Test (UKMPPD) within COVID-19 Pandemic - Study Report

Sep 20, 2026

Study investigates failure factors and builds a prediction model for the Indonesian Medical Doctor Proficiency & Competency Test (UKMPPD) under the COVID-19 pandemic. The cross-sectional design analyzes 75 clinical medical students using an online questionnaire and compares groups with Chi-Square, Mann-Whitney, and binary logistic methods. Depression and economic status significantly associate with test failure. The model reaches AUC 0.845 with 80.0% sensitivity and 84.6% specificity, highlighting the importance of both mental health and socioeconomic conditions in academic preparation.

The pandemic's immense transmission and lethality rate enforce the Indonesian Medical Doctor Proficiency & Competency Test to discard practical measures and rely only on a written exam. These with pandemic social and physical restrictions impede prospective doctors’ learning opportunities leading to easier failure. Henceforth, the present study has high urgency to identify and manage failurefactors, especially in the pandemic. Methods: The cross-sectional study examines 75 clinical medical students through purposive analysis with an online questionnaire in August 2021. Data are analyzed with Chi-Square, Mann-Whitney, and binary logistics. Result: Respondents have an average age of 24.15 (1 .322) years old, majorly female (82 .7%), and pass as first takers (86 .7%) with 1.27 (0 .949) offcampustutelage. The significant factors for the test failure are depression and economic status. The study developed a failure prediction model with the area under the curve 0.845, cut-off 366.5, 80.0% sensitivity, and 84.6% specificity. Conclusion: Intrinsic, extrinsic, and academic factors have significant roles in the failure outcome. For this reason, preparation is crucial not only among individuals but also institutions. The study also provides feedback about the importance of mental health and economic status for Indonesian medical students. Introduction The global community has declared and agreed to the right to equitable health among all individuals. World Health Organization (WHO) 1946 constitution depicts that the most fundamental human right is unrestricted access toward the highest healthcare standards among all individuals.1 Health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing along with the absence of disease or disability. Moreover, the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights explains that the healthcare right also includes primary living supports, namely: food, clothing, shelter, health, social services, and security in the event of employment termination, illness, disability, divorce, old age or other events beyond the individual's control.2 Indonesia, as the 4th most populated country, has a firm stance in the equity and healthcare of its citizens. The Republic of Indonesia 1945 Constitution states thateveryone has the right to live in physical and spiritual prosperity, have a residence, have a good and healthy living environment, and have the right to obtain healthcare services.3 Every individual has a fundamental right to healthcare, including healthcare workers. Medical doctors reported having several barriers in accessing health facilities: embarrassment, peer pressure, feeling of self-care failure, over/under/misdiagnosis anxiety, time and financial lim
