During retraining the patients performed bag exchange under the supervision of a nurse. The nurse ensured that each error listed in the NAC form should be avoided, thus immediately corrected any wrong steps if only.
Patients in the oral education group also underwent retraining every 2 months. A nurse would address all items in the NAC form one by one, to remind the patient of the key points of bag exchange. Scores calculated by the sum of error items during the bag exchange for patients in technique inspection group, or by the sum of "yes" in the interactive quiz for patients in verbal education group.
Patients in the usual care group did not receive any retraining
