Abstract

The objectives of this study were to survey the situation awareness requirement items and to develop situation awareness scale in obstetric anesthesia. Fourteen scholars in anesthesiology and 136 nurse anesthetist students joined the study. The situation awareness requirement items were determined by Delphi technique in three consecutive rounds with ICCgif.latex?\geq0.74 for the last two rounds. The situation awareness requirement consisted of 54 items. The situation awareness scale comprised 48 queries and it fit 2PL model. Most queries showed satisfying discrimination and easiness properties. This instrument had been developed from situation awareness requirement items and it can be further used by nurse anesthetist students for situation awareness global assessment technique.
