Abstract Introduction: Mechanical ventilation is widely used to treat patients with critical conditions. Patients in critical situations are frequently treated with mechanical ventilation. The Communication Board for patients facilitates better communication, keeps records up to date, and provides a welcoming environment for patients, their families, and medical staff. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of communication board on the level of satisfaction in communication among the mechanically ventilated patients.
Methods: In this study, 40 sample were selected by using non – probability purposive sampling technique, 20 in experimental group and 20 in control group. The experimental group was given access to visual communication board during mechanical ventilation period, and control group got standard regular routine care without communication board. Data was collected by using self-structured 3- point Likert scale. Data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: In the experimental group, 20(100%) were highly satisfied and in control group, 15(75%) were moderately satisfied and 5(25%) were highly satisfied. The calculated “t” test value t=12.516 was statistically significant at p<0.001 level. ANOVA “F” / “t” test was used. It was observed that gender from demographic variables (F=3.283, p=0.008) had significant association with level of satisfaction in communication among the mechanical ventilated patients at p < 0.05 level.
Conclusion: In this study researcher found that communication board was found to be useful for enhancing communication and level of satisfaction of the patients with mechanical ventilation.
