Abstract

Introduction: Little is understood about caregivers' lived experiences when first caring for patients on the nasogastric tube at home in an Asian setting. To enhance understanding, our study aimed to chart these caregivers' psycho-emotional evolutions felt during such caregiving experiences in Singapore.

Method: Utilizing purposive sampling, a descriptive phenomenological study was performed, with semi-structured interviews of 10 caregivers of persons on nasogastric tube feeding conducted. Thematic analysis was utilized.

Results: Our findings chart four psycho-emotional transitions of a caregiver's journey in nasogastric tube feeding and the cultural dynamics involved-(a) Disruption of Caregivers' Normality: Attempting to Grasp Reality, (b) Encountering Road-Blocks: Despondency Arises and Frustrations Abound, (c) Adjusting to the New Normal: Reclaiming Confidence and Positivity, (d) Thriving and Integrating into the New Normal, and (e) Cultural Dynamics At Play.

Discussion: Our findings illuminate the understanding of caregivers' varying needs, guiding delivery of culturally-congruent caregiver support targeted at each psycho-emotional evolution.

引言:在亚洲，当护理人员第一次在家中使用鼻胃管护理患者时，他们的生活经历鲜为人知。为了增进理解，我们的研究旨在绘制这些照顾者在新加坡的照顾经历中所感受到的心理情绪演变。方法:采用有目的的抽样方法，对10名鼻胃管喂养患者的护理人员进行半结构化访谈，进行描述性现象学研究。采用专题分析。结果:我们的研究结果显示了护理人员在鼻胃管喂养过程中的四种心理情绪转变以及所涉及的文化动态-(a)破坏护理人员的正常状态:试图掌握现实，(b)遇到障碍:沮丧和挫折比比皆是，(c)适应新常态:恢复信心和积极性，(d)蓬勃发展并融入新常态，以及(e)文化动态在发挥作用。讨论:我们的研究结果阐明了对照顾者不同需求的理解，指导针对每种心理情绪演变提供文化一致的照顾者支持。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
