Summary

The goal of this trial is to determine whether adding a nasogastric tube web application to standard face-to-face caregiver training helps informal caregivers learn nasogastric tube feeding more quickly than standard training alone.

The main question is:

Does the use of a nasogastric tube web application alongside standard face-to-face caregiver training shorten the time required for caregivers to learn nasogastric tube feeding, compared with standard training alone?

Researchers will compare two groups: caregivers who receive standard face-to-face training plus access to the web application and caregivers who only receive standard face-to-face training to see who will learn nasogastric tube feeding more quickly.

Participants will:

* Receive either standard face-to-face training plus the web application or standard face-to-face training alone when identified for nasogastric tube feeding training.
* Have their time taken to learn nasogastric tube feeding recorded.

Conditions

  • Nasogastric Feeding
  • Training Family Caregivers
  • Family Caregivers
  • Informal Caregiver
  • Dysphagia

Interventions

OTHER

Nasogastric tube web application

The application was co-developed with caregivers and has been content validated by multiple experts. It can be accessed using web-enabled smart device. The application has four main features; (1) video demonstrations; (2) micro-learning modules to build knowledge, (3) quizzes to test understanding, and (4) virtual simulation scenarios to mirror real-world scenarios for hands-on practice.
