Tiivistelmä
Experience has shown that respiratory tract suctioning is an important factor in caring for patients with respiratory obstruction, especially while in intensive care units, ear nose and throat unit, surgical unit, and care homes. Nurses while attending to duties often face issues of respiratory difficulties from their patients due to accumulation of mucus in the airways. It is incumbent for nurse to manage the patients’ respiratory problems while they are being treated.
The purpose of this project thesis therefore is to produce an easy to understand, evidence-based guidebook for nursing students on how to perform suctioning in the upper and lower respiratory tract. With respect to the objective, the goal is to provide nursing students with instructions by use of a guidebook to boost their knowledge and improve their skills on the implementation of airways suctioning. This project thesis report, therefore, led to the production of an easy-to-understand guidebook for nursing students on how to perform upper and lower respiratory tract suctioning. During project process, authors gained lots of theoretical and teamwork skills which will be beneficial in later part of authors working life.
The product is an e- PDF file which contain theoretical knowledge of suctioning and pictures demonstrating each procedure of upper and lower airways suctioning. The Authors decided to make three different guidebooks to keep it short and simple, hence facilitating reading. The authors received feedbacks and improvement were made before the guidebooks were accepted.
Authors used the waterfall model of project management in which each step of the thesis project was carefully analysed and completed before going to the next stage. The Waterfall project management model, which the authors utilized, the initial stage, the planning stage, the execution stage, and the concluding and evaluation stage.
Information and data in this thesis were achieved from eveidenced based websites, Finnish database, and textbooks written by Finnish authors. intext references and list of references follows the Satakunta Universities of Applied Sciences instructions. This project and guidebook was evaluated by the supervising teacher and other tutors in the nursing department, because of time constrain authors could not produce questioners for the target group.
