Evaluation of knowledge and behavior of nurses working in intensive care units for endotracheal aspiration application
Abstract
Methods: This study used a cross-sectional and descriptive design including a questionnaire-based nurse survey. It was conducted between 17 March 2015-30 June 2015 with 54 nurses working in intensive care units in a public hospital. In the study, the data were collected with a questionnaire, endotracheal aspiration information form, and nurse observation form for endotracheal aspiration. The evaluation of the data was conducted using numbers and percentages. The ethics committee approval, institutional permission, and participant consent were obtained before starting the research.
Results: It was determined that the nurses participating in the study were incompetent before, during, and after the endotracheal aspiration procedure and that they did not have sufficient information about endotracheal aspiration.
Conclusion: In line with the results of the study, it was suggested that the nurses should be trained on endotracheal aspiration, the effect of education on practice should be evaluated, and that standardization studies should be carried out to minimize deficient and erroneous practices in endotracheal aspiration.
