Özet
Objective: This study was designed to investigate the effect of endotracheal tube cuff pressure training on the knowledge level of intensive care nurses. Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in August 2017 with 32 nurses working in eight different intensive care units (ICU) of a university hospital. Data were collected using structured and self-administered 8-item sociodemographic and occupational characteristics form, and a 20-item endotracheal tube cuff pressure control knowledge level evaluation form. Results: The mean age of the participating nurses was 25.80±5.31 years and 59.4% of them were female. The mean work experience of the nurses was 5.87±4.44 years, while their mean ICU experience was 4.37±3.85 years. After endotracheal tube cuff pressure training, the mean knowledge score of the nurses was found to be significantly higher (17.90±1.71) than that of pretraining score (10.90±2.73) (Z=-4.942, p<0.001). Conclusion: It was found that endotracheal tube cuff pressure training enhanced the knowledge level of intensive care nurses, and the views and recommendations of the nurses were positive. It is advised to increase the training of ICU nurses to enhance their knowledge and skills regarding endotracheal tube cuff pressure control.
