Introduction:
Caregivers have a fundamental role in the approach of patients with respiratory disease and home hospitalization, therefore, their education is essential since it allows the acquisition or updating of knowledge capable of perfecting their work and improving the quality of care attention.
Method:
Longitudinal study, in 33 caregivers of home patients with technical nursing training, who were administered two questionnaires about endotracheal suction and inhalation therapy two years after an educational intervention.
Results:
97% of the caregivers were female, 43% had work experience of more than 36 months and 86% spent up to 12 hours caring for patients. Although no differences were found in the percentage of approval of the endotracheal suction and inhalation therapy tests at two years, in the latter there was an increase in the global score (22 ± 1.8 versus 28 ± 1.5 p = 0.001).
Conclusions:
The educational strategy in the home hospitalization program was effective since the knowledge lasted for a period of two years.
