Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study seeks to establish face validity and preliminary efficacy of a pictographic education handout with patients and identify factors associated with lower self-efficacy level on tracheostomy care.
