Determination of Pain Behaviours on Endotracheal Tube and Oral Care Practice in Intubated Intensive Care Patients
Abstract
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in level 3 Intensive Care Units of a Training and Research Hospital in Black Sea. The study sample consisted of 62 adult patients who complied with the criteria of inclusion for the study. The data was collected by the researcher using the “Patient Information Form”, “Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool”, “Ramsay Sedation Scale”and “ Glasgow Coma Scale”. Data analysis was performed on computer with a statistical program. Evaluation of data used number, percentage, arithmetic mean, and standard deviation.
Results: The mean score of the Critical Care Pain Observation Scale was 0.21±0.52 before the endotracheal tube and oral care, and the mean score was 3.39 ± 0.98 during the endotracheal tube and oral care, and this difference was statistically significant (p= .000). All subscale point averages of Intensive Care Pain Observation Scale were found to be higher during endotracheal tube and oral care (p= .000).
Conclusion: It was found that the level of pain during oral care and endotracheal tube care for intubated patients in intensive care is higher than immediately before.
