Analysis of Youtube Videos for Artificial Airway Suctioning Training of Nurses: A Content Analysis
1Ankara University Graduate School Health Sciences, Ankara, Turkey.
Background:
Artificial airway suctioning is one of the most widespread nursing procedures in clinical practice. Although artificial airway suctioning is frequently applied procedure, it is not easy to perform. It is most important to follow the correct technique to prevent possible complications.
Methods:
This study aims to assess the content, reliability, and quality of training videos on endotracheal aspiration for nurses. The descriptive and retrospective study was conducted in September 2023 and the videos available on the YouTube platform for artificial airway suctioning training of nurses were evaluated in terms of content, reliability and quality.
Results:
In total, 36 videos were analyzed. The analysis was conducted by two independent researchers. Video Information Form and Endotracheal or Tracheostomy Tube Aspiration Checklist created in line with the literature were used to evaluate the application steps of the videos. The short form of the DISCERN questionnaire was utilized to assess the reliability of the videos, while the 5-point Global Quality Scale (GQS) was employed to evaluate their quality. The mean DISCERN score for the videos was 2.958 ± 1.513, the mean GQS score was 3.430 ± 1.083, and the mean total score for the Implementation Checklist was 47.166 ± 10.338. A strong agreement was observed between the assessments made by the first and second researchers using the DISCERN, GQS, and Checklist. The videos included in the study were found to be of medium quality. Additionally, it was determined that all videos exhibited deficiencies in the Checklist steps. In addition, there were significant deficiencies in application principles such as compliance with sterile technique, sequence of application stages and recording.
Conclusions:
These deficiencies are thought to pose a great risk in terms of patient safety. It is recommended that artificial airway suctioning videos available on YouTube be used in nursing education after being checked for content and by experts.

Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The test can identify various pathogens responsible for respiratory infections, including Streptococcus,...
