Abstract:
: This study was to develop and evaluate the validity and inter-rater reliability of airway management tool. Methods : Airway management skills in 20 nursing students were assessed by two investigators using a procedures-specific assessment tool. Overall performance and domain scores between teams were compared using independent samples t-test to assess construct validity. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated to assess inter-rater reliability. Results : Regarding construct validity, there was no statistical difference in the performance scores for each class of the two evaluators for students in class 1 and class 2. ICCs for overall performance were –0.145-0.835. Conclusion : Overall inter-rater reliability appears to have been achieved at a moderate level and good construct validity. In order to supplement the items, it is judged that it is necessary to simplify the skill evaluation questions and increase the practice time.
