About this trial
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effect of simulation-based and video-based training on nurses' confidence, satisfaction, and clinical practice related to nasogastric tube care, compared with a control group receiving routine training or usual practice. Nasogastric tube care is an essential nursing procedure that requires adequate knowledge, practical skills, and confidence to ensure safe and effective patient care. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: simulation-based training, video-based training, or control. The findings of this study will provide evidence on effective educational methods to improve nurses' performance in nasogastric tube care and support better quality of care.

Treatments tested in this trial
Simulation-Based Nasogastric Tube Care Training
Procedure/SurgeryA structured simulation-based educational intervention designed to train nurses in nasogastric tube care using simulated clinical practice. The training includes standardized instruction and hands-on practice of key nasogastric tube care procedures in a simulated setting, with demonstration, supervised performance, and feedback to improve nurses' confidence, satisfaction, and clinical practice.
Video-Based Nasogastric Tube Care Training
Procedure/SurgeryParticipants assigned to this arm receive video-based training on nasogastric tube care. The intervention consists of standardized educational content delivered through instructional video demonstrating key nasogastric tube care procedures and steps. The video is used to support learning in a structured manner to improve nurses' confidence, satisfaction, and clinical practice related to nasogastric tube care.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Nurses' clinical practice in nasogastric tube care
Clinical practice will be assessed using the Observation Checklist for Nursing Care of Nasogastric Tube (NG Care). This outcome will evaluate nurses' adherence to clinical standards and best practices in nasogastric tube care. Higher scores indicate better clinical practice performance.
Secondary outcomes
Nurses' self-confidence in performing nasogastric tube care procedures
Self-confidence will be assessed using the study questionnaire on nurses' self-confidence in performing nasogastric tube care procedures. This outcome will measure nurses' perceived confidence in providing safe and effective nasogastric tube care. Higher scores indicate greater self-confidence.
Nurses' satisfaction with the educational method
Satisfaction will be assessed using the study questionnaire on nurses' satisfaction with educational methods for nasogastric tube procedures. This outcome will measure participants' satisfaction with the assigned educational method or usual practice. Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction.
