Abstract
A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the score of perception on suctioning
techniques towards endotracheal tube among nurses in ICU of Hospital USM. Samples was taken by randomly sampling among nurses, being critical nurses in intensive care unit (ICU) in Hospital USM (n=40). A constructed questionnaire was used to collect
data. Data were analyzed using Statistical for Social Science (SPSS) 20.0 with alpha level of 0.05. Cronbach’s alpha for the questionnaire was 0.701. The participants comprised of 90% diploma in educational level and the rest is 10% degree in educational
level among nurses in critical care setting. The finding showed that the score of
perception on suctioning technique was very high perception score (47.5%). There were
fair correlation (r = 0.428) between the score of perception and nurses’ age. Besides,
there were no significant relationship between the score of perception and suctioning
technique. In conclusion, nurses’ perception on suctioning technique plays an important
role in performing the procedures of ETT suction. Therefore, nurses should also focus on
the positive perception as to ensure nurses have positive perception on suctioning
technique and the suctioning technique.
