The research statement was titled as “A Study to assess the effectiveness of Communication Board on the Satisfaction level regarding Communication Pattern among Mechanically Ventilated Patients.” The data was collected from 60 mechanically ventilated patients (30 in experimental group and 30 in control group) admitted in selected hospital, Amritsar, Punjab using Purposive sampling technique. Two groups were selected for the study, one experimental and one control group. The experimental group was provided with the communication board as an intervention to meet their communication needs (4-5 times during morning time) by researcher, until they are extubated. The control group was not provided with communication board, they relied on standard care and on the experience of nurses. Modified likert scale was used to assess the post-interventional satisfaction level regarding communication pattern after extubation, in both experimental and control group. Study findings revealed that, according to post-interventional satisfaction level regarding communication pattern, majority (80%) of mechanically ventilated patients in experimental group were satisfied regarding communication pattern, followed by (20%) dissatisfied, whereas in control group majority (88.9%) of mechanically ventilated patients were dissatisfied regarding communication pattern, followed by (11.1%) satisfied. According to comparison of post-interventional satisfaction level regarding communication pattern among mechanically ventilated in control and experimental group, a significant difference was found with t value 7.69 at p<0.05 level of significance.
