Abstract

The majority of patients admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) requiring endotracheal intubation to maintain oxygenation and ventilation. Aim: to study the effect of educational program on nurses' practices regarding care of adult patients with endotracheal tube. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was used on a convenience sample of all available nurses (50 nurses) who were working in Intensive Care Unit, Cardiac Care Unit and Cardiothoracic Care Unit at Suez Canal University Hospital. Two tools were developed by the researcher for data collection including observational checklists regarding endotracheal tube care and nurses' opinionaire regarding the educational program. Results:there were highly statistically significant differences in total nurses' practice regarding care of patient with endotracheal tube during all program phases. Conclusion: the educational program improves nurses' practice regarding caring adult patients with endotracheal tube. Recommendations: the importance of presence of protocol or guidelines related to patients' care with endotracheal tube and upgrading nurses' practice about caring of patients with endotracheal tube through attending seminars and workshops about endotracheal tube care.
