This study reports on the level of knowledge about correct blood pressure (BP) measurement procedures among 175 third-year and 176 sixth-year students at a medical faculty and 58 third-year students at a nursing college. Only 51.8% of all students thought that they knew how to measure BP correctly (28.6% in the third year and 61.9% in the sixth year at the medical faculty and 91.4% at the nursing college). Among sixth-year medical students, 12.5% knew the appropriate cuff size, 35% that the stethoscope diaphragm should not be placed under the cuff, and 43% that the cuff deflation rate affects BP measurement. Among nursing students, 33% knew the appropriate cuff size, 22% that an outpatient's BP should be measured more than once during each visit, and 55% that a diagnosis of hypertension can only be made if the BP is elevated on more than one visit.
本研究报告了某医学院175名三年级学生、176名六年级学生以及某护理学院58名三年级学生对正确血压测量程序的知晓程度。所有学生中，只有51.8%的人认为自己知道如何正确测量血压（医学院三年级学生为28.6%，六年级学生为61.9%，护理学院学生为91.4%）。在医学院六年级学生中，12.5%的人知道合适的袖带尺寸，35%的人知道听诊器膜片不应放在袖带下方，43%的人知道袖带放气速度会影响血压测量。在护理专业学生中，33%的人知道合适的袖带尺寸，22%的人知道每次门诊就诊时应多次测量患者血压，55%的人知道只有在多次就诊时血压均升高才能诊断为高血压。
