The Effect of Visual Video With Korotkoff Sounds on Blood Pressure Measurement Skills and Anxiety Levels

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of visual video with korotkoff sounds on nursing students' blood presssure measurement skills and anxiety levels.

Methods: This was a randomized controlled experimental study conducted at the nursing department of the faculty of health sciences of a university. Intervention participants were shown and listened visual video with korotkoff sounds before blood presssure measurement. Aural and visual video containing Korotkoff sounds were shown to the students before the practice.

About this study

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of visual video with korotkoff sounds on nursing students' blood presssure measurement skills and anxiety levels.

Methods: This was a randomized controlled experimental study conducted at the nursing department of the faculty of health sciences of a university. Intervention participants were shown and listened visual video with korotkoff sounds before blood presssure measurement. Aural and visual video containing Korotkoff sounds were shown to the students before the practice. The data of the research were collected with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory short version (STAIS-5, STAIT-5) and the Student introduction form.

Treatment and study plan

video with korotkoff sounds

Other

The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory short version (STAIS-5, STAIT-5) and the student introduction form were applied at the beginning of the study. Then Intervention participants were shown and listened visual video with korotkoff sounds before blood presssure measurement. Afterwards, blood pressure was measured to the students 3 times and 3 measurements were recorded. After the application about 2 hours later, the students State Anxiety Inventory short version (STAIS-5) form was filled again by students.

Primary outcomes

  1. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAIS-5, STAIT-5)

    Time frame: pre intervention

    State-Trait Anxiety Inventory short version (STAIS-5, STAIT-5)[ Time Frame: pre-intervention ] The STAI consists of two parts; the State Anxiety Inventory (SAI) and the Trait Anxiety Inventory (TAI). The SAI measures anxiety about an event while the TAI measures anxiety level as a personal characteristic. The STAIS-5, STAIT-5 each consists of 5 items. The scale items are scored on a 4-point Likert scale of 0 to 3 (0= Not at all, 1= Somewhat, 2= Moderately so, 3= Very much so). Higher scores indicate greater anxiety. The scale allow researchers to differentiate among anxious and healthy participants.

Secondary outcomes

  1. State Anxiety Inventory (STAIS-5)

    Time frame: through study completion for each group, an average of 2 hours

    The SAI items are scored on scored on a 4-point Likert scale of 0 to 3 (0= Not at all, 1= Somewhat, 2= Moderately so, 3= Very much so). Higher scores indicate greater anxiety

  2. Practice Success

    Time frame: through study completion for each participant, an average of 2 hours

    blood pressure was measured to all students 3 times and all measurements were recorded. the instructors informed students about BPM and then paired them up, who then took each other's blood pressure using a sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope with headphones that enable both the participant and the instructors to listen to Korotkoff sounds. The instructors evaluated the participants'BPM performanceby listening to the Korotkoff sounds by one of the headphones and by monitoring the manometer
