This study was aimed to determine the effect of the audio-visual video created with korotkoff sounds on the anxiety levels and blood pressure measurement skills of nursing students.
Blood pressure measurement is the basis of nursing care and clinical decision. For this reason, it is stated that nursing students should specialize in this skill.
This research was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study.
This research was conducted with 130 (intervention group: 67, control group: 63) nursing students in the nursing department of a university in March 2022. Before the skill practice, the students in the intervention group listened to the korotkoff sounds using an audio-visual video containing the korotkoff sounds and then the practice was made. Data of the study were collected using the short version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the student introduction form and the blood pressure measurement evaluation form.
The mean age of the students was 19.41 (SD 1.75) in the intervention group and 19.20 (SD 1.04) in the control group. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory mean scores of both groups were similar before the skill practice. At the end of the skill practice, the state anxiety score of the intervention group 0.56 (SD 1.03) was lower than the control group 1.30 (SD 1.81) and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). When the blood pressure measurements of the students in both groups were compared, the rate of hearing korotkoff sounds and measuring blood pressure correctly was higher in the students in the intervention group and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05).
The korotkoff sounds presented with audio-visual video increased the skill levels of the students and reduced the anxiety level. In this direction; it is recommended to use audio-visual video containing korotkoff sounds for students to gain blood pressure measurement skills.
本研究旨在确定包含柯氏音的视听视频对护生焦虑水平和血压测量技能的影响。
血压测量是护理和临床决策的基础。因此,有人指出护生应精通此项技能。
本研究为随机对照实验研究。
本研究于2022年3月对某大学护理系的130名护生(干预组:67名,对照组:63名)进行。在技能练习前,干预组学生通过包含柯氏音的视听视频聆听柯氏音,然后进行练习。研究数据通过状态-特质焦虑量表简版、学生介绍表和血压测量评估表收集。
干预组学生的平均年龄为19.41岁(标准差1.75),对照组为19.20岁(标准差1.04)。在技能练习前,两组的状态-特质焦虑量表平均得分相似。在技能练习结束时,干预组的状态焦虑得分为0.56(标准差1.03),低于对照组的1.30(标准差1.81),差异具有统计学意义(p<0.05)。比较两组学生的血压测量情况,干预组学生听到柯氏音并正确测量血压的比例更高,差异具有统计学意义(p<0.05)。
通过视听视频呈现的柯氏音提高了学生的技能水平并降低了焦虑水平。在此方面,建议使用包含柯氏音的视听视频帮助学生掌握血压测量技能。
