Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this project-base thesis is to produce an easy to read instructional clinical guidebook for international nursing students dealing with oxygen delivery from wall oxygen outlet using facemask and nasal cannula in a hospital setting. This guidebook will contain pictures of the various equipment that hospital uses when giving oxygen to patients. It will also contain the instructional text on how equipment is being managed safely when administering oxygen. The text will be evidence based.
The objective of this thesis was that nursing students could use the information of the instructional guidebook in developing their own skills and acquire knowledge on how to administer oxygen as safely as possible. The thesis deals with the human respiratory system, respiratory insufficiency, safe oxygen therapy, and the devices needed for oxygen administration from wall oxygen outlet in a hospital environment. Our objective was to improve our theoretical knowledge and practical skills about oxygen administration and produce understandable guidebook, which can be published on SAMK´s library website.
The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the basics of oxygen administration and the tools used for it, human respiratory system, respiratory insufficient that require oxygenation, and methods for helping a patient in need of oxygen therapy with safe care using wall oxygen supply. The final product is an instructional guidebook. The guidebook contains pictures of the most common oxygen supply devices as well as general instructions for oxygen supply based on oxygen saturation. After using the guidebook, it would be easier for the student to start deepening their oxygen therapy skills.
Thesis of this kind, the authors benefit in the form that they gain important, performance, professionality, experience and certainty in their future profession. Completing the thesis has served our professional growth, especially from the perspective of peer education.
