Nursing interventions for the promotion of tracheostomy self-care: A scoping review.

Aims And Objectives: To map nursing interventions, their characteristics, and outcomes, in promoting self-care of the person with a tracheostomy.

Background: The development of competencies in self-care of a person with a tracheostomy is recognised as one of the most significant nursing intervention areas for the promotion of autonomy, prevention of complications and adaptation. Identifying nursing interventions for the promotion of self-care of the person with a tracheostomy enables enhanced clinical practice knowledge within different care contexts and the identification of gaps in the available evidence.
