Web app to help caregivers learn tube feeding
Part of Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests whether a web app helps caregivers learn nasogastric tube feeding (tube through the nose into the stomach). It compares standard training with training plus the web app, focusing on how well caregivers learn and feel confident.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have no prior experience with nasogastric tube feeding (learning for the first time).
- You have been asked by the healthcare team to learn how to feed someone through a nasogastric tube.
- You are able to complete the feeding training program at the hospital.
- The person you care for is aged 50 or older and needs nasogastric tube feeding.
- You are 21 years or older and do not have any cognitive problems that would prevent learning.

This study compares two ways of teaching nurses how to care for nasogastric tubes (feeding tubes that go through the nose into the stomach). Nurses will learn using either simulation (hands-on practice with models) or videos, and researchers will measure how confident and satisfied nurses feel, plus how well they perform the care.
This study tests a training program designed for people caring for a patient who will receive a feeding tube (PEG). The program aims to help caregivers feel more prepared and confident. You may be able to join if you are an adult caring for an adult patient scheduled for PEG placement and can use a smartphone.
This study tests a smartphone app to help patients and their carers manage a new PEG tube at home. It may help you feel more confident and supported after the procedure.
This trial is testing a new type of feeding tube that can be seen with ultrasound, so doctors can check its position without needing an X-ray. It may help make tube placement quicker and safer for people who already need this tube as part of their care.
This study tests if virtual reality helps new graduate nurses learn how to place a nasogastric feeding tube. If you are a new nurse working in an internal medicine or surgical unit, this might help improve your skills.
This study trains people who care for patients with feeding tubes (PEG tubes placed in the stomach). You'll learn how to feed your loved one safely and keep the tube clean and working well.
