Description
Summary:Objective: to analyze the knowledge of the Glasgow Coma Scale in nursing students in the last and penultimate semesters of Centro Universitário Planalto do Distrito Federal Campus Águas Claras. Method: This study used a quantitative approach with the descriptive method, using a questionnaire with six objective questions for data collection. Results: The research carried out with a sample of 20 nursing students showed that 80% demonstrated that they know what is evaluated on the scale, but it was found that only 20% understand how to correctly use the Glasgow Coma Scale. Conclusion: most students have theoretical knowledge about the Glasgow Coma Scale, but they have deficits in the application of the scale.
