Background:
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) may cause complications when adequate and appropriate care is not provided. To avoid these complications, caregivers' experiences and practices must be considered.
Methods:
This study used the phenomenological qualitative research method. Twenty-one caregivers underwent in-depth interviews and were observed for PEG practices. Interview and observational data were analyzed using content analysis.
Results:
This study revealed 8 themes and 24 subthemes under 3 categories of PEG management, social-emotional change of the caregivers, and expectations, and it was observed that caregivers made errors in stoma care, tube feeding, and medication administration through the PEG tube.
Conclusion:
Results indicated that comprehensive and practical discharge training, and home care and counseling services should be provided to effectively address the challenges faced by caregivers of patients with PEG.
