The purpose of this study is not to target a specific disease, but to examine differences in measurement results due to differences in respiratory frequency measurement methods. Since the subjects of the study are nurses and the measurements are performed using videos of simulated patients rather than actual patients, the study is not limited to a specific disease.
Conditions
Interventions
The subject is to watch a breathing video of a simulated patient and measure the respiratory frequency using three different methods: 10-second, 15-second, and 60-second methods. Measurements are tak

| The purpose of this study is to determine the differences in the results of respiratory frequency measurements by different measurement times (10-second, 15-second, and 60-second methods). To this end, we first calculate the mean value and standard deviation of the respiratory frequency for each measurement method, and evaluate the general trend shown by each method. Next, we will analyze the extent to which the 10-second and 15-second methods produce measurement errors when the 60-second method is used as the standard, and clarify any tendency toward overestimation or underestimation. Furthermore, we will examine the effects of different respiratory states and compare the degree of error of each measurement method in different respiratory patterns, such as slow breathing, normal breathing, and tachypnea. Finally, whether statistically significant differences exist between these measurement methods will be evaluated using two-way analysis of variance to determine the magnitude of the impact of differences in measurement time on measurement results. | — |
