"Purposes:Caregivers should undergo comprehensive respiratory care training before patients are discharged from the intensive care unit (ICU), as this can significantly reduce the rate of unplanned return to the ICU. This project aims to improve the awareness and care abilities of primary respiratory care caregivers. Methods:After reviewing the current standard operating procedures regarding nursing guidance on ICU discharge and designing the Respiratory Care Knowledge Score and Factors Affecting Learning and Nursing Effectiveness of Caregiver questionnaires, the root causes were determined to be as follows: (1) No standard operating procedures regarding guidelines for nursing on ICU discharge; (2) Limited learning time and no practical experience; (3) No guidance or checklists for nurses; (4) No teaching demonstrations; (5) Lack of suitable teaching materials; and (6) Nurses lacking available time for actual implementation. A project improvement plan was conducted between February and September 2019 that included process improvements such as the formulation of a“standard operating procedures for nurses on ICU discharge”document, audits of medical records, allowing extended time for family visits, creating nurse support systems, facility improvements such as health education video screens and QR codes for instructional videos, teaching improvements such as standardized demonstrations and feedback processes, and the creation of a“nursing checklist for ICU discharge”to ensure the learning effectiveness of primary caregivers. Results:The“accuracy rate of primary caregivers’knowledge of respiratory care after discharge from the ICU”increased from 65.2% to 90.1%. The“rate of unplanned return to the ICU”decreased from 7.1% to 4.7%. Conclusions:The willingness of nurses to perform and learning effectiveness of respiratory care among primary caregivers were improved by optimizing the standard operating proceduresregarding nursing guidance on ICU discharge. These results are expected to provide a reference for other similar facilities. (Cheng Ching Medical Journal 2022; 18(1): 80-91)" |
