Fig. 2From: Lumbar puncture simulation in pediatric residency training: improving procedural competence and decreasing anxietyResident self-report anxiety scores. Pediatric Resident self-reported anxiety scores using the “state” component of the State-Trait Anxiety Index (STAI). Mean values (± standard deviation) are provided for each postgraduate year (PGY) of training. Blue squares indicate the baseline scores prior to the interactive training session. Red squares indicate the scores at repeat testing after the training session. The asterix (*) denotes significant difference (paired t-test) within each PGY: PGY1 (p = 0.04); PGY2 NS; PGY3 NS, PGY4 NSBack to article page
