Studying ways to teach NG tube insertion to nursing students
This trial compares three ways of teaching nursing students how to insert a nasogastric (NG) tube, a thin tube placed through the nose into the stomach. The goal is to see which teaching method works best for students who have never done this before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) training helps nursing students learn to care for implanted port catheters (a small tube placed under the skin for giving medicines). It is designed to improve their skills in a safe, simulated environment.
This study compares two ways of training nurses to care for nasogastric tubes (tubes that go through the nose to the stomach). It looks at which training method boosts nurses' confidence, satisfaction, and practical skills.
This study tests a new type of feeding tube that uses ultrasound to help place it correctly. If you already need a tube and an X-ray to confirm placement, this device might make the process easier and quicker.
This study tests a better way to place a thin tube from the nose to the stomach (nasogastric tube) in hospitalized children. The goal is to make the procedure safer and more comfortable for kids who need it for feeding or medicine.
This study compares two different ways to measure how long a nasogastric tube should be before placing it. The goal is to see which method is more accurate, which could help avoid complications and make the procedure more comfortable.
This study tests whether a web application, in addition to standard face-to-face training, improves caregivers' skills in feeding a patient through a nasogastric tube (a tube that goes through the nose into the stomach). It may help caregivers feel more confident and competent in providing this care.
