“…Attitudes on the route of providing nutrition also increased significantly after the provision of education. It is similar to previous studies that education can improve the practice of providing nutrition, especially through the nasogastric tube in the NICU [38,39]. In preterm neonates, several reflexes such as suckling and swallowing with breathing do not form until 32 weeks of gestation.…”

Preterm neonates (premature infants) are born with various risks that require them to be admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) which is full of stressors. The impact of stressors in the NICU on infants can be minimized by the provision of seven points of developmental care. Unfortunately, the NICU nurses’ knowledge and attitude in implementing the seven points of developmental care was still lacking, that not all nurses did. This study aims to identify the effect of education on the seven points of developmental care in increasing the NICU nurses’ knowledge and attitude. The pre-experimental research design of one group pretest-posttest was chosen, involving 28 NICU nurses who were selected by using simple random sampling technique. The inclusion criteria of respondents included nurses with more than 1 year of work experience. Education was given 3 times with a duration of 2 hours through online videos. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. There was a significant increase in knowledge and attitudes on the aspects of stress cues (p= 0.025), principles of cooperation with family (p=0.003), Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) of Cooperation with family (p= 0.012), Infant Positioning Assessment Tool (p= 0.003), minimizing pain by touching (p=0.002), route of providing nutrition (p= <0.001), and non-nutritive sucking p= 0.004). Education on the seven points of developmental care is able to increase the NICU nurses’ knowledge and attitudes in implementing interventions for preterm neonates. The provision of education is required regularly in order to refresh and update information for the NICU nurses so that they are able to provide appropriate, optimal, and up-to-date care for preterm neonates.

“…In contrast to this, the current study reports a significant difference in control and experimental group scores. 4 The crosssectional descriptive study "Critical care nurses' knowledge and skill regarding NG feeding. They found that 10% of nurses have poor knowledge, 30% average knowledge, and 60% have good knowledge.…”

“…The education program had a good effect on enhancing quality patient care. 4 Another experimental study conducted in Egypt indicates that the mean practice score of nurses regarding NG tube feeding before giving any education program was 40.18 +3.30, and it improved up to 87.09 + 14.55 after giving any educational program. 5 Another study results showed that 62% of nurses had insufficient knowledge regarding nasogastric tube feeding and more than 38% had good knowledge.…”

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to access informative pamphlets to improve nurses’ knowledge regarding nasogastric tube feeding. METHODOLOGY A quasi-experimental study was carried out among nurses in private and government tertiary care hospitals in Peshawar, KPK. The critical care unit participants were selected for the study using a convenient sampling technique. The participants were divided into control and experimental group. The experiment group was taught by informative pamphlet while the control was not. The questionnaire was adopted from similar studies, which included 17 questions. Data were analyzed by using SPSS software version 25. RESULTS The experimental group’s score was higher than the control group. The mean knowledge score of the control group participants was 15.42, whereas the mean score of the intervention group was 17.82. It shows that the intervention group resulted better than the control group. CONCLUSION Keeping in view the current study; it may be concluded that using informative pamphlets as a teaching tool significantly improves nurses’ knowledge about nasogastric tube feeding.

“…[6] A similar study, reported that the knowledge level of nurses was insufficient before training on enteral nutrition in the neonatal intensive care unit. [7] Nurses should provide care in line with evidence-based recommendations through training to reduce the morbidity and mortality rates of enterally fed newborns. This study aimed to examine neonatal nurses' knowledge and experience about enteral nutrition.…”

Enteral-feeding refers to any nutritional method throughout the gastrointestinal tract, including oral feeding. This qualitative study examined the information, experiences, and records of neonatal nurses of enterally fed patients. The study was conducted between 05.04.2018 and 05.05.2018 with 22 nurses (73.3%) working in the neonatal intensive care clinic of Çukurova University Balcalı Hospital, Adana, Turkey. The data were collected by "Observation and Interview Form" developed based on the literature. Nurses were observed, and interviews were conducted depending on their appointments. Data were collected by observing each nurse on 2 different days. In all observations; it was determined that the nurses changed the feeding set daily, regularly checked the location of the feeding tube and amount of residue, and administered medication through the feeding tube. In 22.7% of the observations, nurses did not securely fix the feeding tube, 27.2% did not write a daily date on the injector with the residual volume measured, and 31.8% did not wash the injector. All the nurses recorded the amount of feed, residual amounts, and content. At the end of the interviews, 9% of the nurses stated that they had experienced aspiration among the complications encountered during enteral feeding. During the interview, they stated that all nurses were educated about enteral nutrition, had control of whether the probe was in place before feeding, performed residual control, washed their hands before the procedure, fixed the food injector to 1 place, and allowed the food injector to flow spontaneously with negative pressure. According to the results of the interviews and observations, nurses could not reflect on their nursing practices correctly. Nurses working in neonatal intensive care units should be regularly trained to share the results of evidence-based studies on enteral nutrition.
