Finally, self-estimation of knowledge and skills in Palliative Care increased from 8.30 to 13.20 (p = .001).001
Results are summarised in Table 4. Legend: (2) Willingness to accompany dying patients; (3) Self-estimation of competence in communication with dying patients and their relatives; (4) self-estimation of knowledge and skills in PC; (5.1) Attitude towards death of self; (5.2) Attitude towards dying of self; (5.3) Attitude towards death of others; (5.4) Attitude towards dying of others.
From the five constructs under investigation three showed statistically significant differences comparing the IG pre and post: (2) willingness to accompany a dying patient, (3) self-estimation of competence in communication with dying patients and their relatives and (4) self-estimation of knowledge and skills in PC.
As independent variables we assessed five constructs essential for PC: (1) attitude towards PC, (2) willingness to accompany a dying patient, (3) self-estimation of competence in communication with dying patients and their relatives, (4) self-estimation of knowledge and skills in providing PC and finally (5) attitude towards death and dying of self and others.
More precise estimations of knowledge gain were obtained by the regression analysis controlling for between-group differences in ScoreT0 and allowing for an interaction effect of intervention (group) and ScoreT0.
We designed a composite, three-step questionnaire (self estimation of confidence, knowledge questions, and opinion on the actual and future medical curriculum) conducted online of final - year medical students at two universities in Germany.
The system might implement a precise adaptation strategy and provide students with personalized learning content, but if its estimations of students' knowledge and preferences are inconsistent, the adaptive interventions it produces are unlikely to be effective.
This may have led to over-estimation of midwives' knowledge, attitudes and practice about the topic.
For all but one of the statements, the number of respondents who lowered their estimation of their own knowledge was double the number who raised it.
This will allow direct comparison of the original and replication effect sizes and the combination of the two will give an estimation of the current knowledge for that given effect size.
