|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lowest | Highest | |||

| Work experience (in years) | 1.01 | 0.360 | 0.99 | 1.04 |
| Number of patients (per shift) | 0.98 | 0.200 | 0.94 | 1.01 |

*
Frequent use of DCP was assessed with a 10‐point Likert Scale: “How often do you use the DCP principle?” The assessment of the use of the DCP or was classified in the category of “rare” (1–5 points) and evaluations of 6–10 were deemed “frequent”.
The bold values indicate significance of p < .05.
