Self-assessment accuracy improved in both groups, but only haptic simulators led to significant gains.
Post-test evaluations showed significant improvement in Group S (haptic simulators) with p = 0.009.
Statistical analyses utilized Cohen's kappa, McNemar's test, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test to measure agreement and improvement.
Despite improved skills, overall agreement with expert evaluations was low, indicating a need for further feedback.
