The care-giving skills of these foreigncaregivers greatly influences their clients. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness ofmultimedia nursing instruction on the knowledge and skill for nasogastric tube (NGT) care by Foreigncaregivers.Methods: This randomized control study was carried out in the rehabilitation wards of a district hospitalin Taiwan. Twenty-two cases were recruited for the experimental group and twenty-one for the controlgroup from two rehabilitation wards by cluster sampling. After the pretest for NGT feeding knowledgeand skill, the experimental group received multimedia nursing instruction while the control groupreceived routine education. A posttest of NGT feeding knowledge was performed immediately afterintervention and skills continued to be evaluated on days 1, 3, and 14. The descriptive and inferentialanalyses of data were performed by SPSS/PC 22.0.Results: The demographic data of experimental and control groups were homogeneous. The pretestof knowledge and skill for two groups were no significant. After multimedia nursing instruction, theknowledge of the experimental group for NGT feeding showed more improvement compared to thecontrol group (p<.01). Regarding skill of NGT feeding, the posttest results of the experimental groupwere better than the control group on day 1 (p<.01), day 3 (p<.01) and day 14 (p<.01).Conclusions: For basic needs of the care technology such as NTG care, applying multimedia nursinginstruction could improve the knowledge and skills of foreign caregivers in NGT care. Attention shouldbe paid to the use of multimedia and teaching materials in the native language of foreign caregivers. |
