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.
