Pecha Kuka Method About Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy for Caregivers Who Care for Palliative Care Patients

Palliative care; It was started by Dame Cicely Saunders in the 1960s as a hospice for community-based provision. Today, palliative care is defined as care that begins with the patient's diagnosis, symptom management is carried out effectively, and a comprehensive, supportive, humanistic approach is based on the individual and his family. When the literature was examined, no study was found that evaluated the effectiveness of the training given by the Pecha Kuka method to caregivers caring for palliative care patients about percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. In addition, it is thought that the results of this research will shed light on identifying problems related to feeding practices in patients fed with PEG tubes and identifying misinformation and practices of caregivers. Determining the knowledge level and initiatives of caregivers regarding percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube feeding practices will contribute to the development of educational activities and effective strategies. Study results may provide important data regarding improving the quality of care given to patients and caregivers after discharge and controlling complication rates.

Primary outcomes

Evaluation Form for Feeding Practices with Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Tube:

Time frame: 4 week

This data collection tool was created by researchers to evaluate the nutritional practices of individuals caring for patients fed through PEG tubes. Storage of the enteral nutrition product, duration of use after opening, dressing the feeding tube, rotating the plate 360 degrees during dressing, positioning the patient during feeding, checking the number written at the entrance of the feeding tube every time the nutritional product is given to the patient, use of nutritional products, duration of administration of the enteral nutrition product
Visual Analog Scale -Anxiety:

Time frame: 4 week

Developed by Cline et al. It consists of a horizontal line 10 cm long. The left side contains the labels "no anxiety" and the right side includes the labels "I feel a lot of anxiety". The VAS value is determined by measuring the distance between the leftmost tip of the scale and the marked point. Values range from 0 to 10, with higher values indicating increased anxiety
