Experiences of Patients with Acute Respiratory FailureUndergoing Noninvasive Positive-Pressure Ventilation and Development of assessment tools

目的：本研究的目的是阐明急性呼吸衰竭患者在NPPV期间的经验。方法：对间歇使用NPPV的急性呼吸衰竭住院患者进行半结构式访谈。数据收集和分析的基础上修改扎根理论的方法。结果：我们收集了6名患者的数据。访谈内容分析揭示了15类经验，如和。创建了经验图表，并根据从启动NPPV到退出的时间安排经验。结论：在NPPV期间的经历特征包括随着时间的推移而改变的治疗经历和我自己通过试错来应对[它]。值得注意的是，这些经历与插管患者的经历不同，因为接受NPPV的患者保持了继续NPPV的意愿，并认为这可以适应我的生活方式。

Objective: The purpose of this study was to shed light on experiences that patients with acute respiratory failure had during NPPV. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with hospitalized patients with acute respiratory failure who used NPPV intermittently. Data collection and analysis were based on the modified grounded theory approach. Results: We were able to collect data from six patients. Interview content analysis revealed 15 categories of experiences, such as and . A diagram of the experiences was created, and experiences were arranged based on the time elapsed from initiating NPPV to its withdrawal. Conclusion: Characteristics of experiences during NPPV included treatment experiences that changed as time elapsed and coping [with it] on my own by trial and error.Notably, the experiences differed from that of intubated patients in that patients undergoing NPPV maintained their will to continue NPPV with a mindset of this can fit into my lifestyle.
