Figure 3From: The acquisition and retention of urinary catheterisation skills using surgical simulator devices: teaching method or student traits Confidence with catheter insertion prior to teaching. A: There was no significant difference observed in confidence levels for all groups prior to teaching (p = 0.59). B: Confidence of students in performing catheterisation after teaching and OSCE examination: There was a significant increase in confidence amongst students with urinary catheter insertion after teaching and examination session. C: Estimated and actual confidence levels of urinary catheterisation at the 4 week retention test: There was a significant decrease in estimated confidence levels for catheter insertion at the four week retention test measured at index exam and the actual confidence levels at the four week retention test with student thought by the didactic method (p = 0.003).Back to article page
