Pretest and Posttest Response Analysis
| Total matched responses | Cohort 1 (attended one didactic session) | Cohort 2 (attended two or more sessions) | |
| Respondents (N) | 50 | 18 | 32 |
| Mean pretest score (Min: 0, Max: 17) | 7.9 (SD 2.6) | 9 (SD: 2.9) | 7.3 (SD: 2.5) |
| Mean posttest score (Min: 0, Max: 17) | 10.8 (SD: 3.0) | 10.3 (SD: 2.2) | 11.1 (SD: 3.7) |
| Mean change in score | 2.9 (p < .001) | 1.3 (p < .12) | 3.8 (p < .001) |
| Range of score on pretest | 3.1–15.5 | 3.8–15.5 | 3.1–11.4 |
| Range of score on posttest | 4.2–17 | 5.8–13.8 | 4.2–17 |
| Respondents confident in identifying delirium before intervention, n (%) | 26 (52) | 9 (50) | 17 (53) |
| Respondents confident in identifying delirium after intervention, n (%) | 40 (80) (p < .001) | 13 (72) (p < .22) | 27 (84) (p < .002) |
| Respondents with self-assessed capacity to administer the CAM before intervention, n (%) | 14 (28) | 6 (33) | 8 (25) |
| Respondents with self-assessed capacity to administer the CAM after intervention, n (%) | 32 (64) (p < .001) | 10 (56) (p < .22) | 22 (69) (p < .001) |
CAM = Confusion Assessment Method; Max = maximum; Min = minimum.
