An Experimental Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Molidrain Bag Vs Bottle Drain Upon Nursing Competency of Naso - Gastric Aspiration among Post Abdominal Surgery Patients at Selected Hospital in Chennai

Chandra .K

Abstract: Introduction: Majority of the post - operative patients have Nasogastric tube aspiration. The bottle drains was used to collect the aspiration from the patient. This conventional method in which the bottle drain are used lead to frequent fall of the bottles due unstable base and less weight, this increases the chance of environmental contamination and ascending infection to the patient. The accurate measurement was impossible as the disposable water bottle does not contain the measuring levels. It was time consuming for the nurses to search the articles to start a nasogastric aspiration. This intended the researchers to develop a standard nasogastric aspiration bag. An effective brainstorming session with the Nursing team and the surgeons was conducted regarding an alternate method. A standard nasogastric aspiration bag, with infusion set, three way connector and Jerry can for continuous naso gastric aspiration was developed with the help of the vendor. Methodology: A true experimental post test only research design was used, the samples were selected by systematic random sampling that is every odd number sample were included in the molidrain group (30 samples) and every even number were included in the bottle drain group (30 samples). Demographic variable, Clinical variable proforma of the post abdominal surgery patients, nursing competency for nasogastric aspiration, the level of acceptability among the nurses regarding molidrain bag and bottle drain was assessed. Result: the nurses demonstrated non competency with bottle drain for nasogastric aspiration (70%) among post abdominal surgery patients where as all the nurses demonstrated high competency with the molidrain bag for the nasogastric aspiration among post abdominal surgery patients (100%). There was a statistically significant difference in nursing competency between the molidrain group (M=41.86, SD=4.33) and bottle drain group (M=10, SD=1.38) with t value of 37.05 at P<0.001. All the nurses had high acceptability towards molidrain bag for nasogastric aspiration (100%) while majority of the nurses had unacceptability towards bottle drain (70%). There was no significant association between the level of nursing competency of nasogastric aspiration and the demographic variables. Conclusion: The study findings revealed that the clinical skill is improved by the usage of molidrain bag, the bag facilitates accurate measurement and easy tubing connection, reduce time consumption, reduce spillage of content thus provide clean environment, easy observation of the drain content.
