Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? In an RCT, 3D printed foot models showed similar decreases in anxiety and increases in confidence compared with standard teaching, and a repeat-measure study found increased self-confidence and task self-efficacy in both novice and more experienced users. → Anning Naomi 2024

q2 · i? · causal · r?
Mixed methods study (Banwell et al., as charted in Table 1) combining an RCT, a repeat-measure study, and focus groups with undergraduate podiatry students practicing scalpel skills on 3D printed foot models and foot ulcer models. The review reports similar anxiety and confidence changes versus standard teaching; no effect size is printed.
"In comparison to standard teaching methods, the use of 3D printed foot models had similar decreases in anxiety and increases in confidence measures"
