Confidence, knowledge, and performance improvements among all residents
Measure | All residents (n=33) | ||
Before mean (SD) | After mean (SD) | Delta mean (95% CI) | |
Confidence* simulation 1 | 2.85 (0.57) | 3.36 (0.54) | 0.51 (0.37 to 0.65) |
Confidence simulation 2 | 3.15 (0.45) | 3.39 (0.53) | 0.24 (0.14 to 0.35) |
Confidence—before simulation 1 to 4–6 months; (n=11) | 2.91 (0.37) | 3.50 (0.37) | 0.59 (0.37 to 0.81) |
Knowledge† simulation 1 | 69.52 (16.66) | 81.90 (14.50) | 12.38 (7.79 to 16.97) |
Knowledge simulation 2 | 83.81 (15.35) | 87.62 (13.90) | 3.81 (0.12 to 7.50) |
Knowledge—before simulation 1 to 4–6 months; (n=11) | 68.83 (15.41) | 83.93 (7.43) | 15.10 (3.25 to 26.96) |
Performance by TRACS‡ simulation 1–2 (n=33) | 75.81 (14.53) | 87.29 (11.73) | 11.48 (6.54 to 16.43) |
*Confidence measured as the average of eight, five-point Likert questions.
†Knowledge measured as % points of a multiple-choice assessment.
‡Performance measured as % points on the TRACS.
