To determine the effect of clothes on blood pressure measurement.
One group pretest-posttest design was used in this study. The study consisted of 162 undergraduate students studying nursing and physiotherapy at a university in Ankara, Turkey. Blood pressure was measured over the sleeve and below a rolled-up sleeve with a mercury-filled column sphygmomanometer. All blood pressure measurements were performed on the right arm during morning hours by the same nurse. Each participant's height, weight and clothing thickness were measured.
The mean age of the participants was 20.71. The median systolic blood pressure values were 110.07 mmHg over the sleeve and 110.37 mmHg below the rolled-up sleeve. There were no statistically significant differences between measurements taken over the sleeve and below a rolled-up sleeve (=0.222). The median diastolic blood pressure values were 69.56 mmHg over the sleeve and 69.59 mmHg below the rolled-up sleeve. There were no statistically significant differences between measurements taken over the sleeve and below a rolled-up sleeve (=0.572).
It was found that clothes have no statistically significant effect on systolic/diastolic blood pressure measurements. Measuring blood pressure over a sleeve may save time.
确定衣物对血压测量的影响。
本研究采用单组前后测设计。研究对象为土耳其安卡拉一所大学的162名护理学和物理治疗学专业的本科生。使用汞柱式血压计在衣袖上方和卷起衣袖下方测量血压。所有血压测量均由同一名护士在上午时段于右臂进行。测量了每位参与者的身高、体重和衣物厚度。
参与者的平均年龄为20.71岁。衣袖上方收缩压的中位数为110.07 mmHg,卷起衣袖下方为110.37 mmHg。衣袖上方和卷起衣袖下方测量值之间无统计学显著差异(=0.222)。衣袖上方舒张压的中位数为69.56 mmHg,卷起衣袖下方为69.59 mmHg。衣袖上方和卷起衣袖下方测量值之间无统计学显著差异(=0.572)。
发现衣物对收缩压/舒张压测量无统计学显著影响。在衣袖上方测量血压可能节省时间。
