  • A pilot application was conducted with ten nursing students to assess the critical patient scenario's appropriateness and equipment adequacy before the construct validity and reliability study.

    “Prior to the construct validity and reliability study, a pilot application was conducted with ten nursing students to assess the scenario’s appropriateness and equipment adequacy [34].”

    From Turkish adaptation of the clinical reasoning evaluation simulation tool (CREST-TR): a validity and reliability study (2025) · cites this paper as [34]

    Criterion 11 (Required Elements, pp. 14–21) recommends pilot-testing simulation experiences before full implementation to assess whether they meet their intended purpose. It does not report a pilot application with ten nursing students, an assessment of equipment adequacy, or the stated sequence before a construct-validity and reliability study. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
