Caregiver training for feeding tube care
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study is testing a training program designed to help caregivers learn how to care for a patient with a PEG tube (a tube used for feeding directly into the stomach). If you are a caregiver, the program aims to teach you the skills you need to feel confident and provide good care.
