With the purpose of improving the communication of the tracheostomized patients, the present study was developed aiming at evaluating the acceptance of the magic blackboard as a resource for these patients's written communication. From the second day after the surgery, the blackboard was used by 15 tracheostomized patients. Subsequently, the authors applied an instrument to evaluate its acceptance. Results showed that 73% of the patients considered the resource appropriate for their conditions, 86% considered that it favoured the communication with the health team and the blackboard was accepted by 96% of the patients. Based on the results, the authors emphatize the importance of the nurses' attitude to search for creative and low cost resources in order to facilitate these patients' communication.Downloads
