Acceptance and Influence Factors of Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy in Family Members of Elderly Patients under Tube Feeding Management.
The acceptance of PEG among family members of elderly patients under tube feeding management is notably low, with the patient's hospitalization cost being the most significant factor. Enhancing education about PEG, improving communication between healthcare providers and families, and addressing financial concerns could significantly increase the acceptance of PEG. Providing training on the PEG system to healthcare professionals and disseminating timely information to patients' families are essential steps to enhance their awareness and acceptance of PEG.
