The selection of images considered with respect to the difficulty of the task, i.e. is it a "stress" set, in which only hard cases likely to be vulnerable to compression are included, or is it a "field" set, in which a representative prevalence of abnormal and normal findings is considered, or an "enriched" set, which is somewhere in between.
With respect to financial difficulty, the regression results show that respondents who did not have financial difficulty in paying the cost of hospitalization were 0.06 times less likely to experience financial burden of care.
With respect to reading difficulty, I believe some of this is perhaps due to the manuscript addressing a specialized audience that might be already familiar with some terms or concepts but not a more general audience.
Furthermore, we found that multiple answer questions (several answers possible) compared with multiple choice questions (one answer possible; color coded in Figure 2B) were not obviously different with respect to the difficulty or discrimination index.
With respect to this difficulty, the results of this study showed the nursing staff took certain actions to facilitate the mother-child relationship such as encouraging contact between the mother and her baby, supporting different ways of bringing her closer to the infant, and promoting informal conversations that allowed the mothers to talk about their difficulties.
This study evaluates the surgical colpotomy step in laparoscopic hysterectomy with respect to difficulty and duration.
The 25 tasks representing these dimensions vary with respect to difficulty levels and can be assigned to Bloom's (1956) taxonomy of educational objectives, which also guided our distinctions of more or less cognitively demanding verbal interactions.
This hypothesis may contribute to explaining differences between multiple job-holders and single job-holders with respect to their perceived difficulty in adapting subject teaching to students' professional profiles, as well as with respect to their perceived classroom-related challenges.
However, it should be noted that the distractors also differed with respect to their perceptual difficulty, as it may be generally harder to detect a gap in a thin Landolt C than in a thick Landolt C. To assess this possibility, a pilot study (n = 5) was conducted where observers had to respond to a centrally presented (50 ms) Landolt C or closed ring in a gap detection task.
Furthermore, the two methods (i.e., IRT vs. Likert scoring), with respect to difficulty ranks, can diverge considerably.
No studies specifically investigating the interaction between physical disability and age with respect to difficulty getting into healthcare premises were identified.
