Brief Summary

It is necessary for nursing students to have sufficient knowledge and correct nursing skill before clinical practicum to provide patients appropriate care and improve nursing quality. The learning materials of nursing skills are mainly paper textbooks and handouts, which are one-way knowledge transmissions having limitations and deficiencies in nursing skill learning. Interactive e-books integrate multimedia such as text, images, and videos, which are more suitable for learning nursing skill and maximize the effectiveness of the learning materials. The present study aimed to develop a nasogastric tube feeding interactive e-book based on Information Processing Theory (IPT) and Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction Motivational Model (ARCS), hoping to improve students' learning motivation and learning effectiveness. This is a randomized controlled trial study. Convenience sampling will be applied. The participants will be recruited and randomly assigned into the experimental group and comparison group. The experimental group will read an interactive e-book to learn nasogastric tube feeding, while the comparison group will read a paper textbook.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (10)

• Nasogastric Tube Feeding Quiz

  The Nasogastric Tube Feeding Quiz is a 15-item true/false questions with three responses (true, false, and not sure). Participants score 1 point for a correct answer and 0 for an incorrect answer or "not sure." The total score ranged 0-15 points. A higher score indicating a better knowledge of NG tube feeding.

  Baseline, before the intervention(T0)

• Nasogastric Tube Feeding Quiz

  The Nasogastric Tube Feeding Quiz is a 15-item true/false questions with three responses (true, false, and not sure). Participants score 1 point for a correct answer and 0 for an incorrect answer or "not sure." The total score ranged 0-15 points. A higher score indicating a better knowledge of NG tube feeding.

  Immediately following after the intervention(T1)

• Nasogastric Tube Feeding Quiz

  The Nasogastric Tube Feeding Quiz is a 15-item true/false questions with three responses (true, false, and not sure). Participants score 1 point for a correct answer and 0 for an incorrect answer or "not sure." The total score ranged 0-15 points. A higher score indicating a better knowledge of NG tube feeding.

  one month after the intervention(T2)

• Confidence scale (C-scale)

  A 5-item scale designed to measure participant's confidence level in performing a nursing skill. Each item had five responses and the total score ranged 5-25 points. A higher score indicating that nursing students felt more confident in performing the nursing skill.

  one month after the intervention(T2)

• Learning Self-Efficacy Scale (L-SES)

  A 12-item scale designed to measure student's learning self-efficacy for nasogastric tube feeding. Participants rate each item on a scale from 1 to 5. The total score ranged 12-60 points. A higher score indicating the nursing students have more confidence in their capability to learn nasogastric tube feeding.

  one month after the intervention(T2)

• Nasogastric tube feeding skill test

  The Nasogastric tube feeding skill test is designed to test nasogastric tube feeding skill performance and competence. It requires participants to perform NG tube feeding in front of an examiner. The participants will be asked to demonstrate NG tube feeding in 10 minutes. The total score ranged 0-100 points. A higher score indicating the nursing students have a better ability of NG tube feeding.
