Abstract
BACKGROUND: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is one of the most suitable methods
for long‑term nutritional support. In this study, the empowerment of intensive care nurses is examined
by a simulation technique to control the short‑term complications of PEG.
METHODS: A two‑group clinical trial study will be conducted on eighty intensive care nurses in
a teaching hospital in Tehran. The study participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two
control and intervention groups based on the inclusion criteria. A pretest will be given to both groups
using a researcher‑made tool. Then, the empowerment package developed by the researcher will
be provided to the intervention group in two stages. Next, a posttest will be administered. After this
stage, patients’ complications with PEG will be observed using a researcher‑made checklist. Nurses’
performances in both control and intervention groups will be evaluated in terms of preventing and
controlling short‑term complications up to 1 week after PEG insertion. All of the data collected in this
research will be analyzed with statistic tests such as independent t‑test, standard deviation, T pair,
ANOVA, and mean based on the SPSS 16 software.
RESULTS: At present, the research team is designing an empowerment package for nurses and
tools needed to evaluate the nurses’ empowerment.
CONCLUSION: This study will attempt to design and evaluate the empowerment package of graduate
nurses with a cognitive empowerment approach and using a simulation technique to care for patients
with PEG and to control their short‑term complications.
