Abstract

Background: Adequate nutrition will reduce the incidence of infection among tube-fed patients, which can improve the quality of life of patients with nasogastric tube feeding. Poor management of nasogastric tube feeding may lead to frequent complications above that no disease process improves with good nutrition. Aim: The study aimed to improve the knowledge and practice of caregivers of patients with nasogastric tube feeding who were admitted to the Government Medical College Hospital, Kozhikode, and to evaluate the effect of competency-based intervention on knowledge and feeding practice among caregivers. Materials and Methods: A pre-experimental design involving a single group’s pretest and posttest was utilized. A total of 30 participants were selected using inclusion criteria from the hospital’s medical wards. Results: The findings of the study revealed that most of the participants had average knowledge and poor practice, respectively. Competency-based intervention was effective in the knowledge and practice of caregivers of patients with tube feeding. Conclusion: Competency-based intervention can change the knowledge and feeding practice of caregivers of patients with tube feeding. A positive change can improve the overall health and prognosis of the patients.
