Nurses Knowledge and competency regarding dysphagia scale
Change from base line, Nurses knowledge and competency regarding dysphagia scale is self developed scale. The scale include items related to anatomy physiology, risk factors, sign and symptoms, complications, screening, and management measured on 11 point scale.
Time frame: 1st day
Nurses Knowledge and competency regarding dysphagia scale
Change from base line to follow up of 3 months, Nurses knowledge and competency regarding dysphagia scale is self developed scale. The scale include items related to anatomy physiology, risk factors, sign and symptoms, complications, screening, and management measured on 11 point scale.
Time frame: 3 months
The simulation Design scale
Changes from baseline, The simulation design scale is twenty item five point scale. It is used to evaluate design features of simulation. The instrument is divided into two parts: one part is about the presence of specific features in the simulation, while the other part is about the importance of those features to the learner. The rating of the specific features is from 1 to 5 where 1 is strongly disagree with the statement and 5 is strongly agree with the statement. Importance part is rated from 1 to 5 where 1 is not important and 5 is very important
Time frame: 1st day
Educational practice questionnaire
