        abstract = {— Introduction: Background of the study: Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is commonest nosocomial infection in intubated patients with 6 to 20 times higher prevalence rates for at least 48 hours after intubation. It contributes to 30% mortality rate in ventilated patients. A number of other complications are associated with malpractice of endotracheal tube suctioning such as lesions in the tracheal mucosa, pain, discomfort, infection, variations in the hemodynamic parameters and arterial gases measurements, bronchoconstriction, atelectasis, raised intracranial pressure, and alterations in cerebral blood flow. Hypoxia is one of the most common complications which is avertible as well.6 Therefore; it is decided to do this research study for creating awareness regarding Endotracheal suctioning to improve the quality of life among ventilated patients. Objective: The objective of the study was assessing the effect of VATM on endotracheal suctioning among staff nurses. An experimental research approach and one group pre-test post-test research design was used to collect data before and after an administration of questionnaire on endotracheal suctioning. The staff nurses were the samples selected by a purposive sampling technique and data was collected by using Standardized Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire with structured interview schedule. The analysis was done by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: It was observed that the percentages of knowledge (control group; 45.50% & experimental group; 49.10%) had poor knowledge on endotracheal suctioning among staff nurses were more or less similar before intervention. However, after an intervention, the overall percentage of knowledge on endotracheal suctioning was decreased from 12.09 % to 12.45% in experimental group. However, during pre-test the level of very good knowledge was 45.5% whereas it was significantly increased to 49.1% during post-test in experimental group. However, the knowledge was almost remained unchanged in control group. There was a significant difference (p<0.0001) between pre-test and post-test knowledge scores in experimental group. And, there was also a significant difference (p<0.0001) between the post tests of control and experimental group. No significant association (p>0.05) was found between knowledge on endotracheal suctioning and age, gender, qualification, clinical experience, & source of information. Conclusion: Analysis of data showed that there is significant difference between pretest and posttest on endotracheal suctioning. Hence, VATM has significantly brought out their improvement of staff nurses in the Endotracheal suctioning.},
