Abstract
Introduction: Tracheostomy in the intensive care unit (ICU) is increasingly used as a means to speed weaning from mechanical ventilation and to provide a safe airway.5 Tracheostomy allows earlier discharge of patients from the ICU, thus allowing better management of limited ICU resources, and may be associated with reduced mortality.
Method & Material: A pre experimental one group pre test & post test study with aim to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching module regarding tracheostomy care on knowledge of staff nurses at selected hospitals of Gwalior city was conducted and samples were selected by convenient sampling. Data were collected with help of structured knowledge questionnaire (SKQ).
Results: Highly significant difference was found between the area wise and overall pre-test and post-test knowledge scores mean difference (14.16), but no significant association was found between the post-test knowledge scores when compared with the demographic variables of nurses (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Tracheostomy care and management is more and more necessary in both the intensive care setting and the general ward. It is therefore ever more important that trained nurses are equipped with the appropriate skills, knowledge and support to meet the unique needs of each patient safely and competently.
