Training for nurses on nasogastric tube care
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 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.
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 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.
This study tests whether watching a video and then practicing on your own helps first-year nursing students learn how to insert a nasogastric tube. You would be part of a group that uses this self-assessment method to see if it improves your skills.
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 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.
