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? Five included studies showed behavioral changes after training, reaching Kirkpatrick level 3; two studies assessed level 2; patient outcomes were not assessed in any study. → Nouira Hajer 2024

q2 · i? · review · r2
The review's structured synthesis of Kirkpatrick levels across its seven included studies. It reports behavioral change evidence at level 3 and notes the highest level, patient outcomes, was never evaluated.
"In addition, five studies showed behavioral changes after training and thus the simulation reached Kirkpatrick level 3. Two studies assessed Kirkpatrick level 2. The impact of training on patient outcomes has not been assessed in any study."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Evidence on transfer to clinical behavior and patient outcomes is scarce: only 2 studies reached Kirkpatrick level 3 and 1 reached level 4 — a broader claim this one bears on
- No included SDL studies measured Kirkpatrick Level 4 (patient/system) outcomes — related
- Evidence for technology-enhanced basic robotic skills training is concentrated at Kirkpatrick level 2, with no studies reporting transfer to operative behaviour or patient outcomes — related
- Competency-based simulation effects are large for skills measured in the simulation lab but small and non-significant for clinical behaviors and patient outcomes — related
- Included orthodontic simulation studies evaluated outcomes only at Kirkpatrick reaction and learning levels, never at behaviour or results levels — related
