The rates of patient referral by optometrists and nurses working independently and conjointly in vision screening of schoolchildren are compared. Very few studies in the literature have examined the difference in referral rate; this difference is important because of the shortage of qualified manpower to screen the large number of children in the present school population. The study determined that the nurses correctly referred a greater percentage of children following an educational program and collaboration with the optometrist, but this increase in referral was not statistically significant.
比较了验光师和护士在独立及联合进行学童视力筛查时的患者转诊率。文献中很少有研究考察转诊率的差异；由于缺乏合格人力来筛查当前在校学生中的大量儿童，这种差异很重要。该研究确定，护士在接受教育项目并与验光师合作后，正确转诊的儿童比例更高，但转诊率的这种增加在统计学上并不显著。
