Brief Summary:
The study evaluates the effectiveness of an Intervention Bundle on Thirst Intensity and Dry Mouth among Patients admitted in ICUs. Patients were randomized into two groups - Experimental and Control group. Experimental group received intervention Bundle whereas control group didn't receive any intervention. Usual care was continued in both the groups.
Detailed Description:
The Convenience sampling technique was used to select Maharishi Markandeshwar institution of Medical Science and Researches Hospital, Mullana, Ambala. Intensive Care Units and a total of 60 patients in those units were also selected conveniently. The selected patients were randomly assigned to experimental and control group using lottery method. The total sample size for the study was 60 patients i.e. - 30 in experimental group and 30 in control group.
Experimental Group -patients were explained regarding administration of intervention bundle.Assessment of patients' mouth and lips was determined firstly. Intervention bundle consisted of sterile cold wet oral swab wipes and sterile ice cold water sprays administered for in two sessions of 15 minutes each. First session was given in 15 minutes, patients received cold wet oral swab wipes in oral cavity 2 to 3 times and mouth spray with 5 to 6 sprays. A maximum of 9 wipes and 18 sprays of sterile water. After administration of intervention bundle, Post test 1 was taken after 15 minutes observation with the same tools. Then researcher waited for 15 minutes after post test1 and session two was administered in 15 minutes with a maximum of 9 wipes and 18 sprays of sterile water. Post test 2 was taken after 15 minutes of session two.
Control group: control group was not given any intervention. Sample characteristics and clinical data (variables) were recorded in record sheet and thirst intensity and dry mouth scores were assessed only. After 30 minutes of pre test scores, post test 1 was taken and data were recorded. Then after, 30 minutes of post test 1, post test 2 was taken and data were recorded.
(Intervention to the control group was given after accomplishment of Post test for ethical consideration).
