Abstract :
Tracheostomy care and management are more and more necessary in both the intensive care setting and the general ward. It is therefore even more important that trained nurses are equipped with the appropriate practice, knowledge and support to meet the unique needs of each patient safely and competently.
Quasi-Experimental research design with Pre-test and Post-test control group design was adopted for the study. 60 staff nurses were selected as sample by non-probability judgement sampling technique, divided equally into experimental and control group. When comparing the knowledge and practice score, before implementation of demonstration and after implementation of demonstration, experimental group staff nurses gained more knowledge and practice score regarding tracheostomy care than control group.
Hence it indicates that demonstration is effective in increasing the knowledge and practice score of staff nurses regarding tracheostomy care.
