About this trial
The goal of this trial is to determine whether adding a nasogastric tube web application to standard face-to-face caregiver training helps informal caregivers learn nasogastric tube feeding more quickly than standard training alone.
The main question is:
Does the use of a nasogastric tube web application alongside standard face-to-face caregiver training shorten the time required for caregivers to learn nasogastric tube feeding, compared with standard training alone?
Researchers will compare two groups: caregivers who receive standard face-to-face training plus access to the web application and caregivers who only receive standard face-to-face training to see who will learn nasogastric tube feeding more quickly.
Participants will:
* Receive either standard face-to-face training plus the web application or standard face-to-face training alone when identified for nasogastric tube feeding training. * Have their time taken to learn nasogastric tube feeding recorded.
