Pairwise comparison of the fall knowledge test according to job role and years of experience

Pairwise Comparisons of the job role	Test Statistic	Std. Error	Std. Test Statistic	Sig.	Adj. Sig. a
Nurses versus HCAs	-1.838	7.683	− 0.239	0.811	1.000
Nurses versus Senior nurses	24.725	8.792	2.812	0.005	0.015*
HCAs versus Senior nurses	22.887	8.760	2.613	0.009	0.027*
Pairwise Comparisons of years of experiences working with older people	Test Statistic	Std. Error	Std. Test Statistic	Sig.	Adj. Sig. a
less than or equal to 2 years versus 6–10 years	-28.080	12.119	-2.317	0.020	0.123
less than or equal to 2 years versus 3–5 years	-29.286	11.145	-2.628	0.009	0.052
less than or equal to 2 years versus 11 years and more	-36.853	8.456	-4.358	< 0.001	0.000**
6–10 years versus 3–5 years	1.207	13.630	0.089	0.929	1.000
6–10 years versus 11 years or more	-8.773	11.536	− 0.760	0.447	1.000
3–5 years versus 11 years or more	-7.567	10.508	− 0.720	0.471	1.000

Note: Each row tests the null hypothesis that the Sample 1 and Sample 2 distributions are the same (e.g. Nurses versus HCAs). Asymptotic significances (sig; 2-sided tests) are displayed. The significance level is 0.050. Std = standard
