Abstract

Background: Preparation of the tracheostomy patient's caregiver affects the prevention of complications from tracheostomy in patients with tracheostomy.


Objectives: To examine the effects of a discharge planning program on caregivers' practices of the patients with tracheostomy.


Methods: This research took part in real experiments, with a sample group measured before and after the experiments. The sample consists of a specific selection of caregivers who cared for 30 tracheostomy patients who participated in the 6 days of the program. The research instruments consist of the tracheostomy patient discharge planning program, a general data collection form for the caregivers, an evaluation form of caregivers' knowledge and skills assessment form, a satisfaction with the application of the tracheostomy patient model in the program assessment form, and an inquiry form on practice observation of the caregivers. Reliability coefficients were .85 and .95, respectively. Descriptive statistics and tests were used to analyze the research data.


Results: After the program, the average scores of the caregivers on their knowledge and skills increased significantly compared with before participation in the program, with a statistical level of .05, and satisfaction with the use of the tracheostomy patient model also increased to the highest level after the program.


Conclusions: The discharge planning program for tracheostomy patients helps caregivers knowledge and skills in caring for tracheostomy patients to achieve a better quality of life.
