Abstract:
Associated Pneumonia (VAP) ventilator occurs more than 48 hours after
the patient is intubated and has mechanical ventilation (ventilator)
installed. The purpose of this study was to look at the performance of
nurses in controlling VAP (Ventilator Associated Pneumonia) during the
installation of mechanical ventilation (ventilator) in patients in the ICU.
This research is descriptive. The research sample uses a total sampling
technique that is all nurses working in the ICU. The overall results of the
nurse's performance in controlling VAP (Ventilator Associated
Pneumonia) in the good category are 16 respondents (100%). The age of
the majority of respondents is at the age of 20-25 years by 12 people
(68.75%) and the minority is the age of 25-30 years by 4 people (31.25%).
The majority of the sex of respondents were 11 women (75%), the
minority were 5 men (25%). The majority of respondents' working time is
1-3 years (56.25%), the minority is> 3 years (18.75%). The education of
the majority of respondents was DIII Nursing by 11 people (68.75%), the
minority was S1 Nursing by 5 people (31.25%). ICU training for the
majority of respondents had never had ICU training for 13 people (81.75),
a minority were for ICU training for 3 people (18.75%). Overall, the
performance of nurses in controlling VAP (Ventilator Associated
Pneumonia) is categorized as good as 12 people (75%), which is not as
good as 4 people (25%). It is recommended to the hospital to give
permission for nurses to continue to a higher level so that nurses'
performance can control the occurrence of VAP. Can also create seminars
and workshops on controlling VAP. Provide opportunities for nurses to
attend ICU training outside the hospital, supported by facilities and funds.
