“…Our analysis revealed that 58.7%, 39%, and 2.3% of nurses had poor, moderate, and good knowledge levels, respectively (mean ± standard deviation score: 21.6 ± 9.11 of 49 points). The results of several studies worldwide are consistent with our main finding demonstrating significant deficiency in tracheotomy care-related knowledge among nurses and their abilities to manage complications [ 13 – 15 ].…”

Background Nursing staff play a key role in the bedside management of tracheostomized patients in both intensive care units and general floors. Effective provision of postoperative care to these patients by nurses is critical. This study aimed to assess the readiness of nursing staff to manage tracheostomy-related complications in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods This cross-sectional study enrolled 395 nurses in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A self-administered questionnaire developed by the authors was distributed to nurses via an online survey. The questionnaire assessed nurses’ socio-demographic characteristics and their knowledge and practices regarding tracheostomy indications, postoperative care, and management of its complications. Results Of respondents, approximately 59% (232/395) had poor knowledge regarding tracheostomy-related complications and indications, 39% (154/395) had moderate knowledge, and only 2%(9/395) had good knowledge. Several factors were associated with increased knowledge, including having a higher education degree, working in a tertiary/quaternary hospital, being a government employee, caring for tracheostomized patients, and attending courses or lectures on managing tracheostomized patients. Conclusions Knowledge level and practices regarding tracheostomy-related complications and indications among nurses remain limited. In-service continuous professional development programs for nurses working in all hospital settings are strongly recommended. Further research is warranted to elicit the major factors contributing to inadequate knowledge and practices among nurses in Riyadh.

Background: ICU patient tracheostomy care is a fundamental nursing procedure. The tracheostomy might result in difficulties and causes a great deal of anxiety in patients. A low level of care can have negative consequences such as longer hospital stays, slower recovery times, and greater mortality rates. Aim: To evaluate nurses' tracheostomy care knowledge and practises in ICU patients. Study Design: The descriptive research study design was used. Methodology: 75 nurses who worked in the ICU of three public hospitals in Lahore—Mayo Hospital, Jinnah Hospital, and Shaikh Zayed Hospital—were included in the study's sample. Nurses' practises were assessed by direct observation using a checklist, and their knowledge was assessed using a self-structured questionnaire. The analysis of the data was done using SPSS v 20.0. Results: All participants in the study were ICU nurses. This data makes clear that 0 - 49% of nurses have low knowledge, while 50 - 64% of nurses have average knowledge, and >65% of nurses have adequate knowledge. Conclusion: The majority of participants had sufficient understanding of tracheostomy care. Additionally, it demonstrates that out of 75 nurses, only 0–59% had insufficient skill and > 60% had a sufficient level of performance. Practical Implementation: This study assisted researchers in examining the risk variables related to Tracheostomy treatment in ICU patients because of the increasing number of patients in the ICU. Conclusion: It was concluded that, despite having sufficient information, nurses performed poorly when providing tracheostomy care. Therefore, for the safety of patients, health care facilities must provide organized clinical guidelines and practices. Keywords: Assessment, Knowledge, Practice, Nursing Care and Tracheostomy.
