Table 2: Median Likert scores with bias and SE of Median, for each question in the video and practical demonstration groups respectively. Bias and SE of mean were estimated by bootstrapping. Positive bias indicates the median is underestimating the population median, while negative bias implies the median is overestimating the population median. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare groups for differences in response score. P<0.05 was taken to be statistically significant (marked with *). p=0.01 was considered highly significant (**) and p=0.001 very highly significant (***). SE, Standard Error.
