What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Demonstrable use of microskills

    Educators in the intervention group will show greater demonstrable use of microskills than educators in the comparison group. These are rated using a rubric with ratings for each skill from not at all to completely. A total microskills score will be created using this scale of 0 for not at all to 5 for completely. The overall mean score will be the final score with higher scores being more positive outcomes.

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Knowledge of microskills

    Educators in the intervention group will show greater knowledge of the microskills than educators in the comparison group. A scale will be created based on the SkillTalk site information. An overall percent correct score will be created with higher scores being more positive outcomes.

    Measured: 1 week

  2. Self-efficacy and comfort

    Educators in the intervention group will show greater self-efficacy and comfort in using microskills than educators in the comparison group. This scale will be created specifically for SkillTalk on a four point scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree with higher scores being more positive outcomes.

    Measured: 1 week

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Demonstrable use of microskills (time frame: 1 week). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
