ABSTRACT:
Background of the study: Tracheostomy is a surgical procedure of making an incision into the trachea so that a tube can be inserted into the opening to assist breathing for the patient requiring respiratory support. Tracheostomy care includes a multidisciplinary approach, mainly involving nursing care. Good tracheostomy care consists of consistent suctioning, stoma care, nutrition, speech therapy, and periodic changing of the tracheostomy tube.5 Objectives: To assess pre-test and post test knowledge regarding tracheostomy care among student nurses. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding tracheostomy care among student nurses. 3. To find out the association between post-test knowledge scores regarding tracheostomy care among student nurses with their selected demographic variables.
Design: Pre-experimental one group pre test post test design was selected for the study. Fifty 2 nd year GNM students were selected through non-probability convenience sampling technique. Data was collected using a self-structured knowledge questionnaire. Results: Findings revealed that, in pre-test, 33(66%) participants had inadequate knowledge, 16(32%) had moderately adequate knowledge and only 1(2%) had adequate knowledge. In post test, 30(60%) participants had adequate knowledge and 20(40%) had moderately adequate knowledge. The mean score of post-test knowledge 20.7±2.697 was higher than mean score of pre-test knowledge 11.12± 5.149. The calculated t-value 11.65 was found to be significant at p<0.05 level. Conclusion: Teaching programmes are effective in enhancing the knowledge regarding tracheostomy care and hence must be conducted at regular intervals.
