3 45 The differences in content of health care plans Ratios and scores To make the total number of identified items between groups and cases comparable, ratios were calculated. Each care plan had a different total number of items: case 1 = 20 items, case 2 = 24 items, case 3 = 29 items and case 4 = 30 items. Score ratios were the proportion of actions identified, and were calculated by dividing how many items a student was able to identify, by the total number of items of that case. For example, if a student identified 8 items for case 1 (case 1 has 20 items), then the score ratio is 8/20= 0.4. The maximum number of items within each category (as a total of case 1 to 4) were also unequal: Additional research = 31, Medication = 10, Consultations = 11, Nursing actions = 46, To-do before discharge = 5. To compare the proportions between categories, we also calculated score ratios: score ratio=number of identified items/ total number of items in that category. Figure 3.2 depicts the procedure of assessment of the health care plans. Figure 3.2: Health care plan assessment Statistical analysis SPSS version 28.0.0.0 was used to process and analyse the results. The mean score ratios of the IPE and UPE group were compared. In case of normally distributed score ratios, independent samples T-test was used. In case of non-normally distributed score ratios, Mann-Whitney-U test was used. The score ratios of each category (diagnostics, medication, consultation of different specialists, nursing interventions and to-do before discharge) as a total of case 1 to 4 were also computed.
