Effectiveness of a mobile-device-based teaching program on knowledge and practice of endotracheal suctioning among nurses in Hue Central Hospital, Viet Nam: A pilot study
Keywords:
mobile-device teaching, knowledge, practice, endotracheal suctioningAbstract
This randomized controlled trail (RCT) study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile-device-based teaching program on knowledge and practice of endotracheal suctioning (ETS) among nurses. The researcher randomly selected 30 nurses working in three intensive care units (ICUs) of Hue Central Hospital, Viet Nam. The participants were randomly divided into experimental group or control group. The experimental group received a 30-minute teaching program via a smartphone, which was developed by the researcher following the hospital protocol. It was presented in terms of words, pictures, and video. The control group received the common teaching provided by the hospital. The outcome variables were evaluated on the posttest, comparing with the pretest as a baseline. The study instruments for evaluation consisted of a knowledge questionnaire (15 items) and an observation checklist for practice (16 items/21 steps). Data were collected within one month and analyzed through descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation); Chi-square test; Fisher’s exact test; and independent t-test. The results showed that after the intervention, the experimental group had the mean scores of knowledge and practice higher than those in the control group, with a significant level (p<0.001). Also, the experimental group had the mean scores of knowledge and practice after the intervention higher than those before the intervention, with a significant level (p<0.001). The results of this study indicate that the program can improve nurses’ knowledge and practice regarding ETS. Therefore, it should be used in ICUs to improve the quality of care in intubated patients.
