Subjects’ scoring on realism, ease of use and usefulness in future work

Questiona	Female (n = 6) mean (SD)	Male (n = 6) mean (SD)
Did you find the simulations realistic?b,d	3.92 (0.29)	3.04 (0.75)
Did you find the computer program easy to use?b	3.88 (0.74)	4.17 (0.58)
How useful do you think these exercises would be for learning to react to a medical emergency?c	4.50 (0.55)	4.17 (0.41)
How useful do you think these simulation exercises would be for learning to work together as members of a health care team?c	4.67 (0.52)	4.00 (0.63)

^a Scoring performed on 1 to 5 grade Likert-type scale where 1 = not at all and 5 = very much.

^b Question asked after both sessions. Mean values are combined scores for both sessions. No significant changes were found over time

^c Question asked only after session 2. See text for details.

^d Difference between males and females statistically significant (P < .05, t 22 = 3.76).
