Özet
Aim: The purposes of this study are to evaluate the use of Jebsen-Taylor Test with template board in nursing students, to demonstrate the increased ease of placement of test items, and to establish a means of assessing nursing students in a test which requires coordination skills. Material and Method: Our study was performed with Trakya University undergraduate nursing students. This study included 168 students between April 2017 and June 2018. Evaluation of skill and function was performed by the JTT and template board. Results: The study showed the mean durations to complete JTT and subtests in males and females. In addition, p-values were recorded for males and females for each subtest. A statistically significant difference was found in moving wide, light object. Durations for subtests 3 and 5 in our study for both dominant and nondominant hands were shorter than the original article. Anthropometric measurements in our study showed a significant relation only between forearm length and the JTT. Duration of the test was shorter for both hands in subjects who used computer for more than 3 hours than subjects who used computer less frequently. Discussion: This study gives new data for the JTT, using a template board in a sample consisted of nursing undergraduate students. It provides evidence that standard objective measures of hand function can be obtained in the educational and clinical settings. In addition after determining the level of hand skills, various training simulations and technological tools can be developed to increase such skills.
