Abstract

            This research and development aimed to develop the ventilator weaningmodeland to study the effectiveness of using the model in critically ill surgical patients in Maharaj Nakhon Si Thammarat Hospital. The development of this model was based on the Conduct and Utilization of Research in Nursing: CURN evidence-based framework. There were three sample groups including 1) 18 pro-fessional nurses 2) 70 critical ill surgical patients and, 3) 72 caregivers. The research instruments were 1) a recorded form of personal data and illness data 2) evaluation form of knowledge related to ventilator weaning 3) evaluation form of nurses ‘opinions 4) evaluation for weaning performance of nurses 5) evaluation form of caregivers’ satisfaction, and 6) a manual of ventilator weaning practice called “ABC2D2E2F bundle “developed from evidence-based practice.

            The result showed that the ventilator weaning model developed in this study focused on enhancing nursing competencies in the weaning process, utilizing a manual for weaning from ven-tilator, and having more family participation. The outcomes after using this model consisted of 3 aspects. First, the process outcome, after getting a training session, the nurses gained a significantly higher knowledge in the weaning (p=.05). Moreover, the nurses expressed their opinions that the ventilator weaning model was appropriate for utilization at a high level, and more than 80% of them complied with this weaning model. For a clinical outcome, achievement of ventilator weaning was 92.86%. in the group of simple weaning with 52.86%. The average duration of ventilator weaning was 4 days. The organizational outcomes showed that the average length of stay in the intensive care unit was 9.61 days, and 43.05% of the caregivers were satisfied with the care in the intensive care unit.

            This study suggests that ventilator weaning model using the “ABC2D2E2F bundle” for practice could increase the care process, clinical, and organizational outcomes, Critical care nurses play a crucial role in collaboration between health team and family. This ventilator weaning model should be used at other critical care in order using an evidence-based practice as a guideline and to improve quality of patients care.
