To explore third year nursing students' understanding of the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS).
An explorative survey using a semi-structured questionnaire was used. A convenience sample of 65 third year nursing students was selected from a university faculty of nursing in Scotland. Of 65 questionnaires distributed, 39 were returned, giving a 60 per cent response rate.
Most respondents (n= 24, 62 per cent) were not confident in practical use of the GCS. However, they wanted to improve their theoretical knowledge as well as their practical skills.
A short training course is needed to make sure that students are able to use the GCS effectively while minimising errors.
探讨三年级护理专业学生对格拉斯哥昏迷量表(GCS)的理解。
采用半结构化问卷进行探索性调查。从苏格兰一所大学护理学院选取了65名三年级护理专业学生作为便利样本。发放的65份问卷中,回收了39份,回复率为60%。
大多数受访者(n = 24,62%)对格拉斯哥昏迷量表的实际应用缺乏信心。然而,他们希望提高理论知识和实践技能。
需要开展短期培训课程,以确保学生能够有效使用格拉斯哥昏迷量表,同时将误差降至最低。
