OBJECTIVE
To compare student accuracy in measuring normal and high blood pressures using a simulator arm.
METHODS
In this prospective, single-blind, study involving third-year pharmacy students, simulator arms were programmed with prespecified normal and high blood pressures. Students measured preset normal and high diastolic and systolic blood pressure using a crossover design.
RESULTS
One hundred sixteen students completed both blood pressure measurements. There was a significant difference between the accuracy of high systolic blood pressure (HSBP) measurement and normal systolic blood pressure (NSBP) measurement (mean HSBP difference 8.4 ± 10.9 mmHg vs NSBP 3.6 ± 6.4 mmHg; p<0.001). However, there was no difference between the accuracy of high diastolic blood pressure (HDBP) measurement and normal diastolic blood pressure (NDBP) measurement (mean HDBP difference 6.8 ± 9.6 mmHg vs. mean NDBP difference 4.6 ± 4.5 mmHg; p=0.089).
CONCLUSIONS
Pharmacy students may need additional instruction and experience with taking high blood pressure measurements to ensure they are able to accurately assess this important vital sign.
目的
比较学生使用模拟器手臂测量正常血压和高血压的准确性。
方法
在这项涉及三年级药学学生的前瞻性、单盲研究中，模拟器手臂被编程为预设正常和高血压。学生使用交叉设计测量预设的正常和高舒张压和收缩压。
结果
116 名学生完成了两次血压测量。高收缩压（HSBP）测量和正常收缩压（NSBP）测量的准确性存在显著差异（HSBP 平均差值 8.4 ± 10.9 mmHg 与 NSBP 差值 3.6 ± 6.4 mmHg；p<0.001）。然而，高舒张压（HDBP）测量和正常舒张压（NDBP）测量的准确性之间没有差异（HDBP 平均差值 6.8 ± 9.6 mmHg 与 NDBP 差值 4.6 ± 4.5 mmHg；p=0.089）。
结论
药学学生可能需要额外的指导和经验，以确保他们能够准确评估这一重要的生命体征。
