Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Patient Care
  • Otorhinolaryngology (ORL) Nursing

Background:

  • Multispecialty inpatient units lack specialized otorhinolaryngology (ORL) nurses, leaving tracheotomy patient care to generalists.
  • Generalist nurses and ORL nurses may experience anxiety caring for and teaching tracheotomy patients self-care.
  • Experienced ORL nurses face challenges in effectively sharing expertise with less experienced staff and patients.

Observation:

  • A 90-minute inservice program was developed to prepare medical-surgical nurses for teaching tracheotomy self-care.
  • The program utilized clinical scenarios and role-playing to address nurse and patient learning barriers.
  • Content focused on motivating patients for early postoperative involvement in self-care.

Findings:

Related Experiment Videos

  • The inservice program successfully prepared nurses to teach tracheotomy self-care.
  • The approach aimed to overcome nurse reluctance and patient learning barriers.
  • Expert opinion and clinical experience informed the recommended nursing actions.

    • Implications:

    • This educational model can enhance the confidence and competence of nurses caring for tracheotomy patients.
    • Improved nurse training can lead to better patient outcomes and reduced anxiety.
    • Standardizing effective tracheotomy care education is crucial in acute care settings.
