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 a repeated cross-sectional survey across four time points, correct responses on a delirium knowledge survey rose from 74.5% at baseline to 86.4% at the final time point, a significant improvement. → EL Hussein Mohamed Toufic 2026

q2 · i? · review · r2
This repeated cross-sectional survey involved nursing staff on a single 24-bed general medical ward exposed to a three-element delirium prevention programme including monthly 1-h high-fidelity simulation with debrief, online modules and expert-facilitated case discussions. Correct responses "increased over time from 74.5% (T0) to 86.4% (T3), with a significant T0 → T3 improvement"; simulation participation was moderate at 48% versus 83% for online modules.
