* Denotes a question where scores have been inverted. Scen is Scenario
Comfortable: “I feel comfortable learning this way” / Confident:” I feel confident managing a similar clinical case in the future”.
SBT-QA10-TPS: Total perception score of items 1–10.
Correlations are considered as Poor (0-0.2), Fair (0.3-0.5) Moderate (0.6-0.7) Very strong (0.8-0.9) or Perfect (1.0). [30]
Correlations shown in bold are significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed).
