Summary

• Brief Summary: In order to benefit from the opportunity of education anytime and anywhere with distance education, individuals need to use mobile devices such as mobile phones, tablets, PCs, which provide the opportunity to access educational content independent of time and place. For these reasons, new searches for the delivery of health services are on the agenda and mobile health applications are seen as a solution to most problems faced by the health system and hospitals.

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a nutritional method that was first described by Gauder et al. in 1980 and is used in patients with impaired oral intake and intact gastrointestinal tract for various reasons. Caregivers play an important role in the home care process of patients undergoing PEG. Caregivers may encounter social, physical and psychological problems while applying their care. In line with all these reasons, the training to be given to the patient or his/her relative/person who will perform the PEG implantation is very important.

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of mobile application use in training given to caregivers of patients with PEG on the competence, satisfaction and care burden of caregivers.
