Nurses’ triage skill enhancement is necessary for providing safety care to emergency patients. Computer assisted instruction (CAI) is one of strategies to enhance nurses’ triage skills. This quasi-experimental study is a one group pretest-posttest design, which aimed to examine the effect of using the CAI for emergency department triage on nurses’ triage accuracy. The sample consisted of 11 registered nurses working at the emergency department, Chondaen Hospital, Phetchabun Province. The research instrument was the CAI for Emergency Department Triage developed by the researcher. The CAI was tested for its content validity by 5 experts and tested for its efficiency yielding an E1/E2 ratio of 82.85/81.00. The data collection instrument was the Triage Outcome Record Form developed by the researcher. The Chi-Square test was used for data analysis. The study result revealed that the nurses’ triage accuracy after using the CAI (85.91%) was statistically significantly higher (p < 0.001) than that of before (45.00%). This study indicated that the CAI can be used to enhance nurses’ triage skills. Emergency departments or hospitals could apply the CAI as one strategy for nurses’ triage training.
