  DISCUSSION

  these results are consistent with the study of Meybodi et al., 2014 carried out in Iran. In this study, knowledge,

  The present study was conducted with the general

  and practice of nurses were improved by the training

  purpose of “determining the effect of using emergency

  of triage workshop through using the emergency

  deterioration tool on the performance of nurses”. The

  deterioration profile improved [12] . The results of this

  sample in the study on determining the performance of

  study are in line with the Khazaei et al. 2014 study

  nurses was all male. From age-old point view, they were

  conducted in Iran [13] . In this study, after triage education,

  in all age groups. The results of this study showed that

  the deterioration profile of the PBL showed a significant

  nurses’ performance was significantly changed before

  increase in the triage nursing function (p = 0.001) and

  using the emergency deterioration tool and the first

  also reduced triage time nurses (p = 0.001). Also, the

  month after using the emergency deterioration index .

  results of the study are in line with the study of the study

  However, after applying the emergency deterioration

  (Haghdost et al. 2010) in Iran. This study also showed

  index there was no significant difference between the

  that triage training to emergency nurses significantly

  results of the first and second months (p = 0.004) and the

  increased awareness and performance of emergency

  second and third months . so, it can be stated that after
