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? Intervention-group students acquired greater knowledge in cardiopulmonary assessment than controls at post-test, but there was no difference in confidence between the two groups. → Andrade Italo Rigoberto Cavalcante; de Queiroz Johny Carlos; Farias Maria Sinara; Maia Nicole Paulo da Silva; da Silva Lúcia de Fátima 2025

q2 · i? · review · r3
Randomized clinical trial with 28 nursing students (14 per group) using an intermediate-fidelity mannequin simulator for one hour, as reported in the review's Chart 4; the confidence null is reported without an effect size, so equivalence was not tested.
"Students in the IG acquired greater knowledge in cardiopulmonary assessment compared to the control group in the post-test. However, there was no difference in confidence between the two groups."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Clinical simulation improves nursing students' knowledge, confidence and performance in cardiovascular physical examination compared with traditional teaching, per a systematic review of six studies — a broader claim this one bears on
- Simulation training increased nursing students' confidence in cardiopulmonary physical examination skills more than traditional training (Tawalbeh et al. study) — reports the opposite
- Simulation Based Education Improves Outcomes — a broader claim this one bears on
- In an RCT of ICU nurses, simulation-based education produced within-group gains in knowledge, confidence and competence but no between-group differences at 6 weeks — related
- High-fidelity simulation improves ECT procedural skills substantially but does not reliably improve theoretical knowledge or confidence — related
