Implementation of parent‐focused nasogastric tube simulation program improves preparedness and anxiety with tube placement

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the effects of a nasogastric tube (NGT) simulation program on caregivers' preparedness and anxiety levels.
• Implemented NGT simulation classes for parents and caregivers.
• Evaluated changes in preparedness and anxiety levels before and after the program.
• Increased preparedness for managing and replacing dislodged NGTs.
• Decreased anxiety associated with performing NGT tasks.
