Aim: To explore the experiences of clinical nurses in Japan in measuring pupil diameter, their confidence in the results, and their experiences of using measuring instruments.Methods: An original questionnaire about measuring pupil diameter was sent to a survey company in December 2022. The survey company had 6,197 nurses and assistant nurses registered, and they were all invited to participate. The survey company sent a questionnaire asking about work in clinical settings to potential respondents. We calculated descriptive statistics for each variable and examined associations between variables and self-reported confidence in results.Results: Overall, 1,541 nurses responded to the online survey, a valid response rate of 24.9%. The respondents’ average age was 47.4 years, and their average duration of clinical experience was 21.7years. Overall, 54.7% of participants were nurses with experience in manual pupil diameter measurement,and over 50% of the nurses had taken manual pupil diameter measurements at least 100 times. Only 24nurses had conducted instrumental measurements. No association was found between experience with instrumentation and bed size of facility. The average confidence in pupil diameter measurement was 3.56 on a six-point scale and the interquartile range was between “somewhat confident” and “somewhat not confident.” However, 40% of respondents were either “somewhat not confident” or “not confident at all.” Conclusions: Only approximately half of the nurses had experience with pupillometry, and 40% lacked confidence in the results of pupil diameter measurements. We therefore recommend that using quantitative
measurement tools that serve as accurate standards, and workshops be conducted to increase nurses’ confidence. |
