Patients with physical and sensory disabilities, such as deafness and blindness and patient with endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation have been shown to face considerable barriers when communicating with health care professionals. One of the major concern of mechanical ventilation patients is to communicate their needs as the most common stressful experience in mechanically ventilated patients is being non vocal. Patients with communication disabilities are already at increased risk for depression and other co-morbidities, as communication is one of the most basic, yet important life skills. It is a means to understand others and ourselves. So to bridge communication gaps between patient and health care professionals communication chart/communication board is need to be designed. The study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of communication board on the level of satisfaction among mechanically ventilated patients admitted in intensive care units of GGSMCH, Faridkot, Punjab.
