| description | Introduction: Airway suctioning is one of the most common
interventions for patients with respiratory disorders and having
adequate knowledge in implementing this technique is quite
crucial for nurses.
Aim: To assess the nurses' awareness about principles of
airway suctioning.
Materials and Methods: This study was a cross-sectional
study done on 85 staff nurses’ in Vali-Asr hospital. Sampling
was based on census data collection. A researcher made
questionnaire was used for assessment of nurses' awareness
about the principles of airway suctioning. The validity and
reliability (Cronbach's alpha=0.78) of the questionnaire have
been examined and proved. The level of nurses’ awareness about
airway suctioning was measured based on the questionnaire
that includes demographic and specialty information in the
form of eight questions of 3-selection-item. The maximum
and minimum score of knowledge ranged between 0-8. The
data obtained was statistically analysed using SPSS software
Version 16.0 and was analysed using descriptive statistics and
Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results: The results reveal that the nurses' awareness about
principles of airway suctioning was average. There was a
significant association between knowledge and gender of
nurses (p<0.05) which reveals that the awareness of women
about the principles of airway suctioning was more than
men.
Conclusion: The results indicate that nurses' awareness
of airway suctioning technique was in an average state.
Considering the importance of this technique and the effects
this technique has on the patients' haemodynamic status, we
recommend in-service courses. |
