Overall STI knowledge and reported practice was evaluated by scoring.
The feasibility for the application of capsaicin patch in clinical practice was evaluated by means of the number of patients controlled per day when this one was applied and by means of the times used for patch application.
Course satisfaction, knowledge, confidence in providing smoking cessation services and the adherence to a practice guideline were evaluated by questionnaires.
Evaluation of the different students in one practice was consistent for most performance characteristics, with correlations (Cronbach's alpha) for all 51 practices, which were evaluated by at least 5 students, ranging from 0.75 to 0.94, with an average of 0.91.
[FG2] As shown in the GP's questionnaire, the suitability of the chest pain guideline for general practice was evaluated positively by 14 GPs.
In keeping with common practice, the model fits were evaluated by five indicators: the chi-squared statistic, the Root Mean Squared Error of Approximation (RMSEA) [ 31], the Comparative Fit Index (CFI) [ 32], the Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI) [ 33], and the Akaike Information Criterion AICC) [ 34].
Comparisons of correlations between practitioners of the target yoga group and those practicing other yoga styles were evaluated by a z-test.
The participant knowledge and awareness of ergonomics, and the extent to which the principles of ergonomics were put into practice in the work-place were evaluated by using a set of expert-validated self-administered questions.
The ability to perform mental practice was evaluated as part of this trial by looking at individual differences between patients in motor imagery ability, as this ability may vary depending on lesion site (Sirigu et al., 1996) and hand function (Parsons et al., 1998, Nico et al., 2004).
Although one could object that this may have negatively influenced accuracy, our study probably reflects daily practice better than studies where all patients were evaluated by one or two very experienced observers.
