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? After applying the Student's t-test, a statistically significant difference was found between the intervention group's pre-test and post-test means (p = 0.001), indicating improvement with clinical simulation. → 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 · r2
Quasi-experimental study of 30 Brazilian nursing students (15 per group) comparing clinical simulation with traditional lecture using the UTREND instrument, as reported in the review's Chart 4; the within-group comparison printed p = 0.001 with medians of 6.0 and 8.0.
"After applying the Student’s t-test, a statistically significant difference was found between the means (p = 0.001), indicating an improvement in the intervention group."
