TITLE OF THE STUDY :-

Effectiveness of Communication board on the communication

pattern and level of satisfaction among mechanically ventilated
patients.

AUTHOR NAME :-

Sasmita Das, Binu Xavier, Farzana Begum.

JOURNAL NAME :-

International Journal of Nursing Education & Research.

Volume : 3

Year : 2015

OBJECTIVE :-

1. To assess the communication pattern among the patients

with mechanical ventilator before & after use of
communication board.
 2. To assess the Level of satisfaction among the patients with
mechanical ventilation before & after use of communication
board.

3. To compare the

a) Communication pattern before & after use of

communication board.

b) Level of satisfaction before & after use of

Communication board.

4. To correlate the Communication pattern with the Level of

Satisfaction before & after use of Communication board
among the patients with mechanical ventilator.

METHODS & MATERIALS :-

 Research Design : Evaluate approach & pre-experimental

one group pre-test & post-test design.

 Setting : IOU, SUM hospital, Kalinga Nagar, Bhubaneswar,

Orrisa.

 Sampling technique : Non probability purpose sampling

technique is used to collect the data.

 Sample size : 60 ICU patients

  Population : Conscious patients with mechanical ventilator
support.

The study will gauge patients opinion on communication

board, a light, flexible communication board that will be prepared so
that the patient can easily inform the caregiver of all of his or her
conceivable needs.

This study will describe the communication pattern &

level of satisfaction experienced by the mechanically ventilated
patients & ascertains the helpfulness of methods used by health care
practioners to meet the communication needs of the mechanically
ventilated patients.

This study will add the body of knowledge regarding

communication in mechanically ventilated patients by reporting the
effectiveness of communication board on communication pattern &
Level of satisfaction.

DATA ANALYSIS PROCEDURE :-

Data analysis were conducted using SPSS version 24.

Test : x2 (“chi square test”) used .

DATA COLLECTION TOOL :-

 Section - A : (Socio - demographic variables)

 This section compromises of items on socio - demographic
profile that includes age, sex, marital status, type of family,
educational status, occupation & duration of ventilatory support.

 Section - B : (Self-structured rating scale to assess

communication pattern)

 Deals with self structured questionnaire to assess the

communication pattern of patients on ventilator that
contains rating scale, each having 8 options.

 Responses which occurred always scored 3, responses

which occurred sometime scored 2, & responses which
occurred never scored 1.

 Section C : (Self-structured rating scale to assess level of

satisfaction)

Deals with self structured questionnaire to assess the

level of satisfaction of patients on ventilator that contains rating
scale, each having 3 options responses which occurred never
scored 3, responses which occurred sometime scored 2, &
responses which occurred often scored 1.

CONCLUSION :

The present study findings described that by using a

communication board, the communication pattern & level of
satisfaction can be improved. The findings conclude that the
communication board developed by the researcher was found to
be helpful in enhancing communication pattern & level of
satisfaction of the patients with mechanical ventilator.
