Advances in Simulation

Table 3 Summary of measures

Measure	Number of items	Timing relative to scenario	Construct	Level of analysis
Sociodemographic Questionnaire	10	Participant completes after consent, but on separate occasion than scenario	Demographic variables	Individual items
Multitasking Preference Inventory	14		Polychronicity	Global summary scores
Time Perspective Inventory	56		Time perspective	Derivative calculation of Deviance from Balanced Time Perspective^a
Experiences of Time Survey	53		-Punctuality -Flexibility -How you talk about time	Subscale summary scores
Time Urgency Scale	33		Time urgency	Global summary score
Creighton Simulation Evaluation Instrument	57	Educator completes during scenario	Multitasking	Global summary score
NASA Task Load Index	6	Participant completes after scenario, but before debriefing	Cognitive workload	Global summary score, and frustration individual item score

^aWe used a derivate calculation for deviance from balanced time perspective (DBTP) to represent the nature of balanced time perspective more accurately [20]
