Abstract
The present study entitled "A study to Assess the Effectiveness of Modified Intra Hospital Transportation Checklist to Reduce Transport Related Complications Among Critically ill Patients in ICU’s at KMCH, Coimbatore" was undertaken in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Nursing at KMCH College of Nursing, Coimbatore, which is Affiliated to the Tamilnadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University Chennai, during the year 2015-2016. OBJECTIVES: To assess the frequency and nature of occurrence of intra hospital transport related complications among critically ill patients. To determine the effectiveness of modified checklist in reducing transport related complications among critically ill patients. To associate the demographic variables with transport related complications. RESEARCH DESIGN: Quasi experimental non equivalent control group post only design. SETTING: Medical and Surgical Intensive Care Units at KMCH, Coimbatore. SAMPLE: 100 patients, subjected to undergo Intra Hospital Transport, 50 in control group, 50 in experimental Group. SAMPLING TECHNIQUE: Non Probability convenient sampling technique. TOOLS: Demographic Variables, Clinical Variables, observation checklist to observe the transport related complications and a questionnaire to assess the feasibility and usability of the checklist. DATA COLLECTION METHOD: Prospective Participatory Observation technique. Subjected patients to undergo Intra Hospital transport to Computerized Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Angiography are selected and extracted their demographic and clinical variables from the records. Subjects in the control group were transported using routine transport practice as followed. Using participatory observation technique, subjects in control group were assessed for transport related complications. Training session for the staff nurses on modified intra hospital transport checklist were taught after assessing the control group complications. Subjects in the experimental group were transported with modified intra hospital transport checklist. The modified transport checklist was adopted by the accompanying nurse before the transport starts. Using participatory observation technique experimental group subjects were assessed for complications. Among the 50 control group patients the overall events observed were 132 and among 50 experimental group patients the overall events observed were 7. RESULTS: There was a significant reduction in occurrence of transport related complications among patients in experimental group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The results confirmed that the implementation of Modified Intra Hospital Transport checklist is effective in reducing transport related complications among critically ill patients.
