    Registered nurses show high proficiency in equipment use and sterile techniques during suctioning. However, patient assessment and psychological support skills require significant improvement across all nursing education levels.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Clinical Skills Assessment
    • Respiratory Care

    Background:

    • Suctioning of intubated patients is a critical nursing skill.
    • Existing training may not adequately address all essential components of the procedure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the learning needs of registered nurses performing suctioning on intubated patients.
    • To identify specific skill deficits in patient assessment and psychological support.

    Main Methods:

    • A 21-item observational tool was utilized.
    • Thirty registered nurses with regular experience in suctioning were assessed.
    • Data were analyzed across different nursing degree subgroups (Associate, Diploma, Baccalaureate).

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • High scores were observed for equipment utilization (97%) and sterile environment maintenance (91%).
    • Lower scores were noted for patient assessment (38%), psychological support (57%), and procedure (62%).
    • Baccalaureate graduates scored lowest in patient assessment (26%) and psychological support (55%).

    Conclusions:

    • While technical skills are strong, significant gaps exist in patient assessment and psychological support.
    • Current nursing curricula may need revision to enhance these critical non-technical skills.
    • Further training is recommended for all nurses, particularly baccalaureate graduates, in these identified areas.
