Table 1 and Figure 1 reflect APA (7th ed.) rules for table and figure formatting and labeling. Note that any tables and figures should be mentioned by number in the narrative text (e.g., “Table 1 includes …”) before they appear in the document. The point size of table and figure text can be smaller than body text (which is 12 point) but no smaller than 8 point. You may change the font inside tables and figures to a sans serif font such as Arial if you wish. For guidance on formatting tables and figures in APA Style, visit the
Doctoral Capstone Form and Style webpage on tables and figures.
The general table note under Table 1 cites the source of a table that was originally printed elsewhere. You must obtain permission from the copyright holder to reprint a table or figure that is not in the public domain. Include letters of permission in an appendix. Per APA 7.14, table and figure notes must be left justified and double spaced, as shown here.

Results
Postimplementation results indicate that the structured educational intervention significantly increased staff knowledge regarding blood drug levels, contraindications, and treatment efficacy. Pre- and post-education assessments showed an average knowledge gain of 31%. Participants reported that the use of visual aids, literature, and data facilitated knowledge retention.

I analyzed the data by calculating the percentage increase in knowledge for each staff member based on their pre- and post-education scores. Here’s how I did it:
Steps of Analysis:
1.
Extracted Pre-Education Scores
· These are the scores before the staff education session.
·
Example: AC had a pre-education score of
60%. LF had a pre-education score of
65%. RS had a pre-education score of
70%. JS had a pre-education score of
65%. MR had a pre-education score of
70%.
2.
Extracted Post-Education Scores
· These are the scores after the staff education session.
·
Example: AC had a post-education score of
95%. LF had a post-education score of
95%. JS had a post-education score of
100%. RS had a post-education score of
100%. MR had a post-education score of
95%.
3.
Calculated the Individual Increase
· Subtracted the pre-education score from the post-education score.
· Example: AC’s increase =
95% – 60% = 35%.
4.
Calculated the Average Increase
· Added all the individual increases and divided by the number of staff members.
· Formula used: Average Increase=∑(Post Score−Pre Score)Total Staff Members\text{Average Increase} = \frac{\sum (\text{Post Score} – \text{Pre Score})}{\text{Total Staff Members}}Average Increase=Total Staff Members∑(Post Score−Pre Score)
· Example: (35+30+30+35+25)÷5=31%(35 + 30 + 30 + 35 + 25) \div 5 = 31\%(35+30+30+35+25)÷5=31%
