本文介绍了一种仪器的开发和测试的数据，以评估护理人员（RNs，LVNS和CNAs）的口腔健康的养老院居民。仪器研制成功后，护理人员被教导做一个简短的口腔健康状况检查（BOHSE）。使用该仪器，牙医检查了100名居民，检查是重复的同一居民的每一类护士考官。相关系数表明，统计学上显着的三个类别的护理人员和牙医之间的评价者之间的可靠性建立，这表明护理人员可以教评价居民的口腔健康。建议在多个研究中心重复研究。
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.
