The aim of this study was to determine the nursing procedures carried out by emergency department nurses. This descriptive study was carried out between April and September 2015 in the emergency departments of two state hospitals and one university hospital in Turkey. The study population comprised 139 emergency nurses working for at least 1 year in the emergency department of one of the three hospitals. Data were gathered by using the Emergency Nursing Procedures Questionnaire, which is composed of three sections to reveal nursing procedures performed in emergency departments. The procedures most frequently performed by the participants were administration of pain medication and assessment of patient responses (3.97 ± .18). Assessment of the patient's nutritional status (1.79 ± 1.16) was among the least frequently performed nursing procedures. Emergency nurses carried out nursing care procedures less frequently and took part most frequently in procedures related to medical diagnosis and treatment. According to results of this study, these procedures and competencies will highlight what knowledge and skills emergency nurses need. They will also guide in the creation of in-service training programs and illuminate competencies that need improvement.
本研究旨在确定急诊科护士实施的护理程序。这是一项描述性研究，于 2015 年 4 月至 9 月在土耳其的两家州立医院和一家大学医院的急诊科进行。研究人群包括在这三家医院的急诊科工作至少 1 年的 139 名急诊护士。数据通过急诊护理程序问卷收集，该问卷由三部分组成，旨在揭示急诊科实施的护理程序。参与者最常执行的程序是给予疼痛药物和评估患者反应（3.97±.18）。评估患者的营养状况（1.79±1.16）是最不常执行的护理程序之一。急诊护士执行护理程序的频率较低，而最常参与与医疗诊断和治疗相关的程序。根据这项研究的结果，这些程序和能力将突出显示急诊护士需要哪些知识和技能。它们还将指导在职培训计划的制定，并阐明需要改进的能力。
