| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Ineffective evacuation of the accumulated intra-thoracic air and/or fluid after cardiothoracic surgery may upsurge postoperative complications, morbidity, and mortality. So, chest drains are a prevalent intervention for patients admitted to acute respiratory or cardiothoracic care areas. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of nurses’ evidence-based educational intervention regarding the chest tube on clinical patient’s outcomes in intensive cardiothoracic care. Setting: The study was carried out at the cardio-thoracic care unit affiliated to Mansoura University Hospital. Method: A quasi-experimental research design was utilized to conduct this study using a pretest posttest approach. A convenience sample of 55 nurses and 60 patients were selected to achieve the aim of the present study. The results revealed that there were a highly statistically significant differences regarding total mean scores of nurses' knowledge and practice pre and post implementation of evidence-based educational intervention. Also there were an improvement in total mean scores of the patients’ outcomes regarding chest tube. Conclusion: There was a statistical significant improvement in nurses’ total mean knowledge and practice scores post evidence-based educational intervention. Also, there was a statistically significant positive effect of nurses’ evidence-based educational intervention regarding the chest tube on clinical patient’s outcomes in intensive cardiothoracic care. Recommendation: The nurses should implement nursing care for patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery based on evidence based practice. The nurses must enroll into internal and external training programs and attain and participate in conferences to renovate their knowledge and practices regarding EBP about chest tube post cardiothoracic surgery | ||||
