This article presents data from the development and testing of an instrument to evaluate the oral health of nursing home residents by nursing personnel (RNs, LVNs, and CNAs). After the instrument was developed, nursing staff were taught to do a brief oral health status examination (BOHSE). Using the instrument, a dentist examined 100 residents; the examination was repeated on the same residents by each category of nurse examiners. Correlation coefficients indicate that statistically significant interrater reliability between the three categories of nursing personnel and the dentist was established, suggesting that nursing staff can be taught to evaluate the oral health of residents. Replication of the study in multiple sites is recommended.
本文介绍了一种由护理人员（注册护士、职业护士和护理助理）用于评估疗养院居民口腔健康状况的工具的开发和测试数据。该工具开发完成后，护理人员接受了如何进行简短口腔健康状况检查（BOHSE）的培训。使用该工具，一名牙医对100名居民进行了检查；每类护士检查人员对同一批居民重复进行了检查。相关系数表明，三类护理人员与牙医之间在统计学上具有显著的评分者间信度，这表明可以教会护理人员评估居民的口腔健康状况。建议在多个地点重复该研究。
