Brief Summary
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
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.
Immediately after completion of the assigned training intervention (post-test 1) and 4 weeks after completion of the intervention (post-test 2).
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Nurses' self-confidence in performing nasogastric tube care procedures
Immediately after completion of the assigned training intervention (post-test 1) and 4 weeks after completion of the intervention (post-test 2).
Nurses' satisfaction with the educational method
Immediately after completion of the assigned training intervention (post-test 1) and 4 weeks after completion of the intervention (post-test 2).
Study Arms (3)
Simulation Group
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive hands-on simulation training in a realistic clinical setting to practice nasogastric tube care.
Video-based Group
EXPERIMENTALVideo-Based Group: Participants will receive training via instructional videos demonstrating nasogastric tube care procedures.
Control Group
NO INTERVENTIONControl Group: Participants will receive no additional intervention beyond routine standard practice.
Interventions
A 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.
Participants 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.

Data Sharing
- IPD Sharing
- Will not share
Individual participant data will not be shared because the study involves a relatively small sample from specific hospital settings, and data sharing may increase the risk of participant identification even after de-identification.
