The primary objective of this study was to determine the level of inter-rater reliability between nursing staff for the Paediatric Observation Priority Score (POPS).
Retrospective observational study.
Single-centre paediatric emergency department.
12 participants from a convenience sample of 21 nursing staff.
Participants were shown video footage of three pre-recorded paediatric assessments and asked to record their own POPS for each child. The participants were blinded to the original, in-person POPS. Further data were gathered in the form of a questionnaire to determine the level of training and experience the candidate had using the POPS score prior to undertaking this study.
Inter-rater reliability among participants scoring of the POPS.
Overall kappa value for case 1 was 0.74 (95% CI 0.605 to 0.865), case 2 was 1 (perfect agreement) and case 3 was 0.66 (95% CI 0.58 to 0.744).
This study suggests there is good inter-rater reliability between different nurses' use of POPS in assessing sick children in the emergency department.
本研究的主要目的是确定护理人员对儿科观察优先评分(POPS)的评分者间信度水平。
回顾性观察性研究。
单中心儿科急诊科。
从 21 名护理人员的便利样本中抽取 12 名参与者。
向参与者展示三段预先录制的儿科评估视频,并要求他们为每个孩子记录自己的 POPS。参与者对原始的、面对面的 POPS 不知情。进一步通过问卷调查收集数据,以确定参与者在进行本研究之前使用 POPS 评分的培训和经验水平。
参与者对 POPS 的评分者间信度。
案例 1 的总体kappa 值为 0.74(95%置信区间为 0.605 至 0.865),案例 2 为 1(完全一致),案例 3 为 0.66(95%置信区间为 0.58 至 0.744)。
这项研究表明,不同护士在急诊科评估患病儿童时使用 POPS 的评分者间信度良好。
