Advances in Simulation

Table 3 Readiness to perform in intervention and control group at follow-up survey

	Follow-up survey
	Intervention group (simulation)	Control group (no simulation)
	Mean score (SD)	Mean score (SD)	Difference^d (95% CI)
Theme	n = 527	n = 194
Feeling ready (navigation)^a	79.6 (20.3)	73.6 (22.9)	6.1 (2.6; 9.5)*#
Feeling ready (emergency calls)^b	58.2 (29.5)	39.4 (32.2)	18.7 (13.7; 23.7)*#
Feeling ready (cardiac arrest)^c	64.2 (23.2)	53.9 (27.6)	10.3 (6.3; 14.4)*#

Mean score based on converted Likert scale
^aItem: To what extent do you feel ready to navigate in your own ward/clinic?
^bItem: To what extent do you feel ready to participate in emergency calls at another ward/clinic?
^cItem: To what extent do you feel ready handling emergency situations (e.g., a cardiac arrest)?
^dDifference depending on participation in simulation
*Indicates a statistically significant difference (p < 0.005) (Based on unpaired sample t test)
^#Indicates a statistically significant difference (Wilcoxon rank sum test) in medians between independent groups (p < 0.005)
