Participants' Ratings of Interactive Evidence-based Experience (Agree of Disagree)
Question | n | Mean (SD)* | Agree†, % | P Value‡ |
---|---|---|---|---|
I learned new information concerning evaluating chest pain in women. | 29 | 4.21 (0.77) | 79 | <.001 |
I found new tools to retrieve information concerning evaluating chest pain in women. | 29 | 4.31 (0.85) | 90 | <.001 |
I learned improved methods to determine posttest probability of disease, e.g., the probability of coronary artery disease after a positive or negative test. | 29 | 4.14 (0.69) | 83 | .004 |
My clinical knowledge would improve if I attended regular interactive conferences similar to this exercise. | 29 | 4.55 (0.51) | 100 | <.001 |
My ability to retrieve evidences based medical information would improve if I attended regular interactive conferences similar to this exercise. | 29 | 4.41 (0.57) | 97 | <.001 |
My ability to interpret diagnostic tests would improve if I attended regualr interactive conferences similar to this exercise. | 29 | 4.48 (0.57) | 97 | <.001 |
I need no further training in finding clinical information available online. | 30 | 1.6 (1.00) | 7 | <.001 |
I am not likely to use computers in acquiring clinical information. | 30 | 1.53 (1.11) | 7 | <.001 |
I am not likely to use computers in retrieving clinical information. | 30 | 1.4 (0.86) | 3 | <.001 |
I am not likely to use computers to improve my abillity to interpret diagnostic tests. | 30 | 1.57 (9.4) | 7 | <.001 |
I am not likely to attend conferences such as this again. | 30 | 1.5 (1.04) | 7 | <.001 |
I am likely to learn more with routine, i.e., noninteractive case conference. | 29 | 2.55 (1.12) | 21 | .003 |
Interpretation of diagnostic tests is better taught in routine case conference. | 29 | 2.76 (1.09) | 24 | <.041 |
The medical literature is more likely to be accessible after routine case conference. | 29 | 2.86 (1.19) | 24 | <.041 |
Mean rating on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = no opinion, 4 = agree, 5 = strongly agree).
Percentage responding agree or strongly agree (4 or 5).
