The purpose of keeping drainage tubes after discharge from hospital is to continue drainage and reduce the stimulation of the drainage fluid to nearby organs around the surgical site and speed wound healing or achieve therapeutic outcomes. Recently, the number of discharged surgical patients calling for consultation on drainage tube care problems has increased, and doctors have reported that the patient did not record the amount of drainage, loosening, or slippage or blockage of the drainage tube after discharge. Therefore, the researcher analyzed current operation problems and developed effective improvement strategies. The researchers analyzed the abnormal rate of drainage tube care of discharged surgical patients from January to March 2019. Causes revealed from analyses include completeness rate of nursing staff performing drainage tube self-care instruction was 89.6%; correct rate of patients performing drainage tube self-care was 79.7. %; being too late to decide taking drainage tube home and to instruct and practice self-care methods, and lack of a leaflet on drainage tube nursing care. Solutions include developing a drainage tube care guidance confirmation card, revising drainage tube care techniques, making drainage tube care and health education videos, holding drainage tube self-care training, building a drainage tube home remote care system, and monitoring the discharge drainage tube care, developing evaluation criteria for indwelling drainage tube at home and make the self-care card for drainage tube. After the improvement, the completeness rate of nursing staff performing drainage tube self-care instruction as well as the correct rate of patients performing drainage tube self-care instruction increased to 100%. The abnormal rate of drainage tube care of discharged surgical patients decreased to 1.4%. The implementation outcome was ideal and the program was carried out in other surgical wards. Following the evolution of big data era, data on the remote home care system can be developed into a database for analysis and transformed to a predictive system that provides references for medical care decision-making. |
