Training Effectiveness

This study aims to develop and evaluate a structured education program and a mobile application to support caregivers of patients receiving enteral nutrition via percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). The intervention focuses on improving caregivers' knowledge, care practices, and perceived burden. The study will be conducted in three phases: a needs assessment, development of the education and digital support modules, and implementation of the intervention. Quantitative and qualitative data will be collected to evaluate the impact of the intervention. The results are expected to contribute to the improvement of home PEG care quality and the empowerment of caregivers.

The randomized controlled trial will compare the effects of a High-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocol versus a HIIT plus plyometric training in the muscle-tendon structure function and metabolism of the pediatric population with obesity at different biological maturational stages (pre-to-age peak velocity \[APHV\] and post-APHV). Both groups perform baseline evaluations of the main and secondary outcomes and receive the intervention for twelve weeks, three times per week. Once the interventions are completed, the participants undergo the same evaluations they performed at baseline.

Fatherhood transition programs led by nurses can positively influence fathers' involvement in infant care, gender roles, and father-infant bonding. These programs encourage fathers to take a more active role in both the prenatal and postnatal periods, enhancing their knowledge and skills related to infant care. Through these programs, fathers gain more information and practical abilities in caring for their babies. The trainings provided by nurses cover essential care topics such as infant and maternal nutrition, sleep routines, diapering, burping, hygiene, and safety. This knowledge enables fathers to participate in infant care more effectively and safely. Traditional gender roles often assume that infant care is primarily the mother's responsibility. However, nurse-led programs emphasize that fathers can and should take an active role in this process. This helps break down stereotypes related to gender roles and strengthens the father's role in childcare. Active participation in infant care from an early stage contributes to the development of a strong emotional bond between father and baby. Quality time spent together, physical contact, and shared activities reinforce this bond. Research shows that a strong father-infant bond has positive effects on a child's emotional and social development. In conclusion, nurse-led fatherhood transition programs significantly contribute to reshaping traditional gender roles and strengthening the emotional bond between fathers and their babies by increasing paternal involvement in infant care. Expanding such programs can lead to long-term positive outcomes for both fathers and children.
