Abstract:
Measurement consists in ascribing symbols to observed values of the investigated traits and in comparing the established indicators of the object measured with a proper standard equipped with a scale. In nursing, measurement means specific activities realized by a nurse in order to obtain information concerning the quantitative description of certain traits occurring in an individual patient. Measurement is performed by means of a scale. The following scales are distinguished: nominal, ordinal, quotient and interval, the latter being most frequently applied in nursing. Self-care efficiency of a neurological patient, functional independence of a neurological patient and the level of health education in neurology were examined, among other things, by means of this scale.
