Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• 1. The effect of the training given to nurses on the level of knowledge of blood pressure measurement from the brachial artery

  The knowledge test prepared consists of 20 questions, each with five options. The achievement test was evaluated by three faculty members who are experts in the field of Nursing Fundamentals. At the same time, the opinions of an expert lecturer in the Department of Measurement and Evaluation in Education were received regarding the achievement test. The experts evaluated all questions on a 4-point Likert scale (1: the item is not suitable, 2: the item should be seriously reviewed, 3: the item should be slightly revised, 4: appropriate). Content validity index (CGI) was calculated according to the evaluations of the experts. It was found sufficient in terms of questions in the achievement test and CGI (CGI min. 0.666, max. 1,000). Knowledge test will be applied to nurses before and after the training.

  About 45 days until 10 June 2022
