Abstract
This study investigated the family nurse practitioner student's knowledge of corneal abrasions and current research protocols for their treatment. Thirty-five nurse practitioner students attending the Masters of Nursing program at a research intensive university in the west enrolled in the study. Data were collected using a nine question survey consisting of two questions regarding corneal abrasion diagnosis, three questions regarding differential diagnosis of eye redness, and four questions regarding corneal abrasion treatment. Surveys were completed during Primary Care: Adults and Elders and Primary Care: Family class time during the 2002 Spring semester.
Data were evaluated to analyze differences between scores obtained on the five questions pertaining diagnosis of eye redness (dxscore)and scores obtained on the four questions pertaining only to corneal abrasion treatment (revscore). The hypothesis of higher scores being obtained by students with ER/Urgent care experience, ER/Urgent care clinical experience, and personal experience with corneal abrasion treatment were explored and no statistically significant difference were found.
