The current study was aimed to assess the practice of incentive spirometer among postoperative patients at selected hospital.
A descriptive observational study design with nonprobability purposive sampling was adopted to conduct a study among 60 postoperative patients of general surgery in patient department. Data were gathered by structured questionnaires using demographic variables and biological parameters. Confidentiality was maintained throughout the procedure. Collected data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics.
The results revealed that the Day 1, 27 (54%) had inadequate practice, 20 (40%) had moderately adequate practice, and 3 (6%) had adequate practice. On Day 2, 20 (40%) had adequate practice, 20 (40%) had moderately adequate practice, and 10 (20%) had inadequate practice. On Day 3, 36 (72%) had adequate practice, 8 (16%) had moderately adequate practice, and 6 (12%) had inadequate practice. The demographic variables did not shown statistically significant association with level of practice of flow-oriented incentive spirometer among the postoperative patients on Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3.
本研究旨在评估某选定医院术后患者使用激励肺活量计的情况。
采用描述性观察研究设计,通过非概率目的抽样法,对病房60例普通外科术后患者进行研究。使用包含人口统计学变量和生物学参数的结构化问卷收集数据。在整个过程中均保持保密性。收集到的数据采用描述性和推断性统计方法进行分析。
结果显示,在第1天,27例(54%)使用情况不足,20例(40%)使用情况中等,3例(6%)使用情况良好。在第2天,20例(40%)使用情况良好,20例(40%)使用情况中等,10例(20%)使用情况不足。在第3天,36例(72%)使用情况良好,8例(16%)使用情况中等,6例(12%)使用情况不足。在第1天、第2天和第3天,人口统计学变量与术后患者使用流量型激励肺活量计的情况水平之间未显示出统计学上的显著关联。
