Summary
Computer-based communication tools (CBCT) significantly improve communication for intubated patients. This technology reduces patient anxiety and enhances comfort, aiding effective interaction with healthcare staff.
Area of Science:
- Medical Technology
- Clinical Communication
- Patient Advocacy
Background:
- Conscious patients on mechanical ventilators face severe communication barriers.
- Effective communication is crucial for patient care and well-being.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of a computer-based communication tool (CBCT) for intubated patients.
- To compare CBCT with routine communication methods in a clinical setting.
Main Methods:
- A quasi-experimental study involving 90 intubated patients.
- Comparison between patients using CBCT and those using standard communication methods.
Main Results:
- Only 20% of CBCT users reported communication difficulties versus 82.2% of non-users.
- CBCT group showed significantly lower anxiety levels (p < .001).
- CBCT group reported significantly higher comfort levels (p < .001).
Conclusions:
- CBCT is effective in improving communication for ventilated patients.
- The tool enhances patient comfort and reduces anxiety.
- CBCT is suitable for patients requiring ventilatory support for various reasons.
