Abstract

Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is one of the most common nosocomial infections among patients receiving mechanical ventilation in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). VAP can increase the length of hospital stay, healthcare costs, and patient mortality rates. One of the most crucial and effective nursing interventions for reducing bacterial colonization in the oropharynx is oral hygiene care. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of oral hygiene in preventing the occurrence of VAP among patients treated in the ICU of Dr. R.M. Djoelham Regional General Hospital, Binjai. This study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive analytic design. The sample consisted of nurses and patients who met the inclusion criteria during the study period. Data were collected through observation of oral hygiene practices and review of patients’ medical records, and were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The results showed that good oral hygiene implementation (75.0%), performed regularly and in accordance with established procedures, contributed to reducing the risk of VAP among patients receiving mechanical ventilation. Nurses’ compliance with oral hygiene protocols was found to be an important factor in the successful prevention of VAP. It can be concluded that optimal implementation of oral hygiene is an effective nursing intervention in reducing the incidence of VAP in the ICU. Therefore, improving healthcare workers’ compliance through continuous training and regular monitoring is necessary to ensure quality healthcare services and patient safety.
