Abstract :
The main reason for this study is regarding the
importance of correct estimation, which can consequently decreases
the risk of under or over estimation.
Methods. This was an observational analytic cross-sectional study.
An online data collection tool “Google Form” was used to gather
personal information and self-assessment score.
Results. From the 121 participants, the majority of them (76)
were women. Most of the participants (33.9%) were seventh-year
medical students. The results of this study showed that 100% of the
participants believed that they possessed the skillset to measure
BP correctly with an average self-assessment score of 8.20 ± 1.05.
However, the mean total score for the participants was 3.69 ± 1.59,
with only two of the participants scoring as high as 7.
Conclusion. The majority of participants attained low average
score of correct blood pressure measurements. However, they
noted high self-assessment scores before conducting the study. This
disparity between reported results may show and emphasizes the
importance of considering these 11 tips in the BP training courses.
