Background.
Triage nurses play a pivotal role in the emergency department.
However some researchers have attempted to expand triage nurse’s role; remarkable discrepancies exist among scholarly communities.
The aim was to develop a role description of triage nurse relying on the experts.
Methods.
A modified Delphi study consisting of 3 rounds was performed from March to October 2014.
In the first round, an extensive review of the literature was conducted.
Expert selection was conducted through a purposeful sample of 38 emergency medicine experts.
Results.
Response rates for the second and third rounds were 37% and 58%.
Average age of panelists was ( 38.42 ± 5.94 ) years.
Thirty-nine out of 54 items reached to the final round.
Prioritizing had the higher agreement rate and least agreement on triage related interventions.
Conclusion.
Triage nursing as a relatively new role for nurses needs significant development to be practiced.
Comprehensive educational programs and developmental research are required to support diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in triage practice by nurses.
