PICOT Ques-on
Introduc-on
Issue:
Current prac-ce for communica-on with mechanically
ven-lated, conscious pa-ents is impaired due to the lack of
educa-on and resources available to ICU nurses.
Signicance:
Lack of nurse-pa-ent communica-on can lead to lengthy
hospital stays and adverse pa-ent outcomes ul-mately
resul-ng in decreased pa-ent sa-sfac-on.

Banner UMC
Evalua-on of pain and physiological needs will be assessed via the Cri-cal-Care

interpreta-on of pain and physiological needs.

Problem:
Current prac-ce allows for inadequate nurse-pa-ent
communica-on among ven-lated ICU pa-ents
Poor communica-on increases pa-ents risk for adverse
events and increased dura-on of ICU admission
What can we do?
Improving the communica-on between nurses and pa-ents
in the ICU will increase sa-sfac-on and create less trauma-c
experiences for the pa-ents.
Assis-ve and illustra-ve communica-on techniques are
evidence based solu-ons to improving ven-lated pa-ent
communica-on
27
Why is it necessary?
Pa-ents view the ICU environment as unfamiliar and feel
that they have no impact on how it is organized, which leads
to dependency, especially on the nursing sta.
Lets get implemen-ng!
