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? Students who worked with standardized patients achieved significantly higher knowledge scores than those who worked with the high-fidelity simulator. → Andrade Italo Rigoberto Cavalcante; de Queiroz Johny Carlos; Farias Maria Sinara; Maia Nicole Paulo da Silva; da Silva Lúcia de Fátima 2025 q2 i? There was no significant difference in performance scores between the standardized-patient and high-fidelity-simulator groups (t = 0.767, p = 0.447). → Andrade Italo Rigoberto Cavalcante; de Queiroz Johny Carlos; Farias Maria Sinara; Maia Nicole Paulo da Silva; da Silva Lúcia de Fátima 2025 (2)

q2 · i? · review · r3

Quasi-experimental mixed-method study of 52 nursing students randomized to a high-fidelity simulator or standardized patients, as reported in the review's Chart 4; knowledge scores favored standardized patients, with no printed effect size.

"Knowledge and performance scores for all students increased after the simulation activities; however, students who worked with standardized patients achieved significantly higher knowledge scores than those who worked with the high-fidelity simulator."

q2 · i? · review · r3

Same mixed-method study of 52 students: post-simulation performance scores were similar between groups, with the printed t-test statistic quoted; equivalence was not tested.

"Regarding skill acquisition, students in both groups achieved similar performance scores in the post-simulation evaluation test (t = 0.767, p = 0.447)."
