Video-Assisted Self-Assessment on Nasogastric Tube Insertion

Introduction and Purpose Advancements in Nursing Education: The integration of technology, specifically video-supported training, is a significant development in nursing education. Focus on Nasogastric Tube (NGT) Placement: Proper placement of NGT is a critical skill in nursing. Traditional methods alone may not suffice in acquiring and maintaining this skill. Objective: Evaluate the impact of video-supported self-assessment on the knowledge and skills of nursing students regarding NGT placement. Hypotheses Video-supported self-assessment increases students' knowledge about NGT placement. Video-supported self-assessment enhances students' skills in NGT placement. Materials and Methods Design: A randomized controlled pre-test and post-test experimental design. Ethics: Ethical approval will be obtained and registered with Clinical Trials ID. Data Collection Tools: FR.1 Personal Information Form: Demographic data collection. FR.2 NGT Placement Knowledge Test: 20 multiple-choice questions based on theoretical content. FR.3 NGT Placement Skill Checklist: 51 steps evaluating correct, incorrect, and unobserved applications. Data Collection Process Initial Phase: Explanation of the study, informed consent, and completion of the FR.1 form and FR.2 pre-test. Traditional Teaching: A theoretical lecture on NGT placement. Practical Application: Experimental Group: Practical demonstration recorded and shared with students for self-assessment. Control Group: Practical demonstration recorded but not shared with students. Post-Intervention Assessment: FR.2 post-test and an OSCE exam based on FR.3 for both groups after one week. Data Analysis Software: SPSS 23.0. Methods: T-tests, Chi-square tests, Pearson and Spearman correlation analyses depending on data distribution. Statistical Significance: p\<0.05. Study Limitations Scope: Limited to first-year nursing students at one university. Interaction: Potential interaction between intervention and control group students. Ethical Principles Approval: Obtained from the Ethics Committee and the university. Participant Rights: Informed consent, respect for autonomy, confidentiality, and adherence to the Helsinki Declaration.
