Health assessment skills are of the most important skills which nurses require. The more precise assessment, the better results would be obtained and the quality of patient care would be improved. However, in Iran, few studies have investigated nurses' assessment skills.
This study was aimed to assessnurses' evaluation of the learned skills of health assessment and their use.
This cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 nurses in Isfahan province hospitals. Data was collected by a questionnaire including demographic data and 120 health assessment skills. Nurses scored their frequency of using and proficiency in skills. Statistical analysis was conducted by ANOVA, Tukey test and independent sample T-tests.
The highest level of using and proficiency in skills was related to taking history. Nurses received 87.25% of score in this field. The lowest level of application was in assessment of the urogenital system so that nurses received 16.37% of score in this area. Also the lowest proficiency was in assessment of the nervous system and nurses received 34.58% of score in this area.
The level of nurses' proficiency in the health assessment skills was not satisfactory. Modifying the curriculum and cooperating of nurse managers and nursing schools can help to improve the situation.
健康评估技能是护士所需的最重要技能之一。评估越精确，获得的结果就越好，患者护理质量也会得到提高。然而，在伊朗，很少有研究调查护士的评估技能。
本研究旨在评估护士对所学健康评估技能的评价及其使用情况。
本横断面研究对伊斯法罕省医院的200名护士进行。通过一份包括人口统计学数据和120项健康评估技能的问卷收集数据。护士对技能的使用频率和熟练程度进行评分。采用方差分析、Tukey检验和独立样本T检验进行统计分析。
技能使用和熟练程度最高的是病史采集。护士在该领域获得了87.25%的分数。应用水平最低的是泌尿生殖系统评估，护士在该领域获得了16.37%的分数。熟练程度最低的是神经系统评估，护士在该领域获得了34.58%的分数。
护士在健康评估技能方面的熟练程度水平不尽人意。修改课程以及护士管理者和护理学校的合作有助于改善这种情况。
