What this Trial Is About
The trial focuses on hospitalized children aged 0 to 18 years who require gastric tube placement, aiming to improve practices in pediatric enteral nutrition. Researchers are evaluating evidence-based methods to enhance safety and effectiveness in tube placement by addressing gaps between current practices and the latest guidelines. This quality improvement project seeks to update healthcare professionals' knowledge and standardize procedures to improve pediatric care quality. The study involves establishing an enteral nutrition management team that will lead a 3-month quality improvement initiative. During this time, pediatric nurses will receive regular training through lectures, group discussions, demonstrations, and simulations focused on gastric tube placement and maintenance. The project will observe changes in compliance with protocols and nursing knowledge as the new practices are implemented. Participants will be monitored through assessments of protocol adherence and knowledge levels before and after the intervention. Data collected will include compliance rates with gastric tube placement protocols and the personal knowledge of nursing staff. The study aims to ensure safer and more effective tube placement, with evaluations conducted throughout the 3-month implementation period and ongoing support for nurses.
