I see, I learn, I do: Development and evaluation of a video-enhanced nasogastric tube feeding training programme for caregivers.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

We examined the effectiveness of a video-enhanced education package in improving caregiver outcomes (number of steps at first feeding attempt, time to achieve competency and knowledge) compared to the current institutional training approach.

Design

Quasi-experiment.

Methods

From August 2016-June 2017, we recruited 112 caregivers in a Singaporean tertiary hospital. We allocated 72 and 40 caregivers to video-enhanced and standard education, respectively. Median values are reported with interquartile ranges (IQR), and analysed using Mann-Whitney U test.

Results

Caregivers taught with our video-enhanced package performed a median of 7.0 (IQR = 3.5-7.5) out of eight steps correctly at their first attempt, a 40% increase. There was no change in the median number
