It is still the most common cause of death in the subgroup of cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to assess the effect of triage training on the clinical performance of emergency department nurses.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br>

Data were collected by the nurses' demographic information questionnaire, patients' demographic characteristics questionnaire, and the time measurement form. The data before the training was compared with the data after the training using SPSS 20 software, and the test non-parametric Chi-square and independent T-test and analysis of variance were used to analyze the data</span></span></span></span></span></span><br>

T-test showed that the triage time, arrival to the first clinical procedure, arrival to the first doctor's visit, and the patient's stay in the emergency department before and after the intervention had a statistically significant difference (p<0.01).</span></span></span></span></span></span><br>
