used for nurses (Registered nurses and Assistant nurses). This 31-items version has
good psychometric properties for reliability and validity.

SCORING INSTRUCTIONS
Knowledge score
To calculate the score, each item with correct answer adds 1 point.
- True. Items 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 15, 16, 19, 20, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31 add 1
point if the answer is True.
- False. Items 3, 6, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17,18, 21, 22 y 28 add 1 point if the answer is
False.
Items with “Don’t know” answer add 0 points to the score. These items can be used for
identifying topics with poor knowledge.
The maximum score that can be obtained is 31 points (knowledge index = 100%). From
the score, several indices can be calculated:
• Index of knowledge: Total score / 31 X 100
• Index of ignorance: Number of “don’t know” answers / 31 X 100
