The main purpose of this study was to determine the clinical skill of the medical personnel on level of awareness of standard methods used during blood pressure measurement.
Blood pressure measurement is one of the vital clinical proficiencies the hospital personnel must be equipped with. Results from different surveys highlight the importance of awareness amongst medical personnel in controlling blood pressure.
Descriptive cross-sectional study.
Using standardized questionnaires devised by the researcher, data were collected from 302 participants working in healthcare centres in Jahrom. The extracted data were analysed using SPSS.
Observations showed that 10-20% of the participants had wide knowledge of influential factors affecting blood pressure measurement. Moreover, there was a meaningful relation between holding higher degrees and accurate blood pressure measurement ( < .05). Nevertheless, besides the personnel holding lower degrees, those holding higher educational degrees also had dearth of knowledge of factors affecting blood pressure measurement.
The overall findings of this study indicate that the knowledge among the hospital personnel in determining factors affecting blood pressure measurement was inadequate.

描述性横断面研究。
研究人员使用标准化问卷，从 Jahrom 医疗中心的 302 名工作人员中收集数据。使用 SPSS 对提取的数据进行分析。
观察结果表明，10-20%的参与者对影响血压测量的因素有广泛的了解。此外，持有较高学位与准确测量血压之间存在有意义的关系（<0.05）。然而，除了持有较低学位的人员外，那些持有较高教育程度的人员对影响血压测量的因素也缺乏了解。
本研究的总体结果表明，医院人员在确定影响血压测量的因素方面的知识不足。
