Kruskal Wallis test calculator with post-hoc Dunn's test and calculation steps, checks if the difference between two or more groups is significant, calculated the effect size, test power, outliers, and generates R syntax.
The PSEQ is a 10-item questionnaire, where patients rate their confidence from 0 points (not at all confident) to 6 points (completely confident). Total scores are calculated by summing the individual items with a range from 0 points (less self-efficacy) to 60 points (more self-efficacy).
