The Tabletop Matrix: Determining Reliability for a Criterion-Referenced Performance Measure
The Journal of Nursing Education
|August 9, 2017
Summary
A pilot study developed a tabletop matrix to measure nursing students' learning transfer of medical-surgical content during disaster scenarios. The matrix proved effective for assessing knowledge application in novel, high-impact situations.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Disaster Preparedness
- Medical-Surgical Nursing
Background:
- Disasters pose significant challenges to healthcare systems.
- Tabletop exercises are a traditional method for evaluating disaster response policies and procedures.
- Assessing the transfer of medical-surgical knowledge to disaster scenarios is crucial for effective patient care during surges.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate a tabletop matrix for measuring nursing students' learning transfer of medical-surgical content.
- To assess the reliability and effectiveness of a disaster-scenario tabletop exercise for senior baccalaureate nursing students.
Main Methods:
- A pilot study was conducted with senior baccalaureate nursing students.
- A tabletop matrix was developed as an instrument to measure learning transfer.
- Interrater reliability was established with medical-surgical experts.
Main Results:
- The tabletop matrix demonstrated established postpilot interrater reliability with medical-surgical experts.
- Improvements were made to the instrument's items based on pilot study findings.
- Cronbach's alpha could not be calculated, with rationale provided.
Conclusions:
- The tabletop matrix serves as a criterion-referenced performance measurement.
- It effectively assesses nursing students' learning transfer of medical-surgical concepts in disaster scenarios.
- The disaster-scenario tabletop exercise is a valuable educational tool.

01:15Routh-Hurwitz Criterion I
624
Consider an electrical power grid, where stability is essential to prevent blackouts. The Routh-Hurwitz criterion is a valuable tool for assessing system stability under varying load conditions or faults. By analyzing the closed-loop transfer function, the Routh-Hurwitz criterion helps determine whether the system remains stable.
To apply the Routh-Hurwitz criterion, a Routh table is constructed. The table's rows are labeled with powers of the complex frequency variable s, starting from the...

01:29Reliability and Validity
14.2K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

01:19Routh-Hurwitz Criterion II
1.1K
In the application of the Routh-Hurwitz criterion, two specific scenarios can arise that complicate stability analysis.
The first scenario occurs when a singular zero appears in the first column of the Routh table. This situation creates a division by zero issues. To resolve this, a small positive or negative number, denoted as epsilon (∈), is substituted for the zero. The stability analysis proceeds by assuming a sign for ∈. If ∈ is positive, any sign change in the first...

A contingency table provides a way of portraying data that can facilitate calculating probabilities. It is a method of displaying a frequency distribution as a table with rows and columns to show how two variables may be dependent (contingent) upon each other; The table helps determine conditional probabilities quite quickly and can help systematically organize, analyze and quantify data. The table displays sample values concerning two variables that may be dependent or contingent on one...

McNemar's Test is a nonparametric statistical test used to determine if there is a significant difference in proportions between two related groups when the outcome is binary (e.g., yes/no, success/failure). It is beneficial when we have paired data, such as pre-test/post-test designs, where the same subjects are measured under two different conditions. The test is named after the statistician Quinn McNemar, who introduced it in 1947. It is commonly used in situations where subjects are...

01:08Determination of Expected Frequency
2.6K
Suppose one wants to test independence between the two variables of a contingency table. The values in the table constitute the observed frequencies of the dataset. But how does one determine the expected frequency of the dataset? One of the important assumptions is that the two variables are independent, which means the variables do not influence each other. For independent variables, the statistical probability of any event involving both variables is calculated by multiplying the individual...
