Abstract
Medical institutions provide guidance on caring skills for home caregivers. Oral teaching is combined with graphical tools in a method that has been proved to be an effective way of quickly mastering home caring skills and promotes effective learning for home caregivers. The graphic design and operation contents of this method are constantly revised through interviews and observations, and by carrying out home care application graphics it forms a spiral structure of Plan–Do–Study–Act (PDSA) participatory action research (PAR). In the three cycles of the operation of PDSA PAR, the designers accurately create graphics of the caring details based on the nurses’ demonstrations and develop health education tools that are suitable to provide continuous assistance and services in real-life situations. PAR combined with PDSA, in each of the three cycles of the operation—design personnel, medical personnel and home caregiver personnel, respectively—as the lead roles, guide the planning decisions for PAR. This study is a reference for the improvement and development of medical graphics for health education tools to improve accuracy.

Providing quality improvement training in nursing skills to home caregivers is essential for caring for patients at home, especially for those patients who require nasogastric intubation and catheterisation

The researchers found that when local home caregivers were being taught, the new foreign home caregivers had trouble communicating because of the language barrier, making it difficult to teach them complex home care work
Summary
Providing quality improvement training in nursing skills to home caregivers is essential for caring for patients at home, especially for those patients who require nasogastric intubation and catheterisation. Most of the home caregivers in Taiwan are from Indonesia, Vietnam and The Philippines; how to effectively teach foreign home caregivers to take care of patients has become very important. Home caregivers have specific needs and challenges in the nursing environment, and their roles need to be recognised by the medical care system [2]. It is necessary to be able to carry out standard operation procedures of feeding, routine intubation cleaning, and position inspection as part of daily care
