Abstract:

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to identify the effect of video education for caregiver of homecare clients who need tracheostomy tube suction and management. After providing the video education produced by Home Health Care Team to set guidelines on tracheostomy care at home, caregiver’s knowledge and self-efficacy and satisfaction was also verified.

Methods: The research was a one-group, pre-and-post test design. Research participants were the main caregiver who provide home care to patients with tracheostomies registered with Home Health Care Team in one University Hospital. Data were collected from May 2022 to September 2023 and analyzed using Wilcoxon signed rank test with SPSS/WIN program version 25.0.

Results: Significant differences were found for the pre and post evaluation of the video education for the implementation of tracheostomy care. The video education improved the main caregivers’ knowledge(Z=-3.209, p=.001), and self-efficacy(Z=-2.573, p=.010) of tracheostomy tube  suction and management. After video education, caregivers’ performance levels of tracheostomy tube suction and management were analyzed higher than average 97%. Satisfaction levels of the video education were averaged at the score of 4.62(5 perfect score).

Conclusion: Results show that this video education was effective nursing intervention for promoting the caregiver’s knowledge and self-efficacy of tracheostomy care by providing guidelines for caregiver regarding tracheostomy tube suction and home management. We recommend that further research should be done to verify the effectiveness of education and to develop educational video on various topics for caregivers at home.
