Development and validation of the Psychotropic Education and Knowledge (PEAK) test on psychotropic drugs for nurses in an acute geriatric care setting

Conclusion This is the first knowledge assessment instrument on psychotropic drugs for nurses in an acute geriatric care setting. Mean test scores were low, indicating a knowledge deficit among nurses and nursing students. Further refining of the test and validation in other care settings is needed.
