Introduction:
The study aimed to investigate the impact of an information-based preparation program on the psychological safety of adolescents admitted to pediatric wards, emphasizing the importance of enhancing patient safety.
Methods:
This quasi-experimental study was conducted among 98 adolescents admitted to pediatric wards at Namazi Hospital, managed by Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, in 2021. The participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group using an electronic randomization table. The intervention group received an information-based preparation program, while the control group followed routine care. Adolescents completed the Psychological Safety Questionnaire after admission and at discharge. Data were analyzed using SPSS (Version 22), with a significance level of 0.05.
Results:
The mean psychological safety scores before the intervention were 136.73 ± 17.30 in the control group and 141.03 ± 16.34 in the intervention group, with no significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.20). After the intervention, the mean scores were 136.65 ± 19.01 in the control group and 145.50 ± 14.05 in the intervention group. A comparison of the mean psychological safety scores showed a significant difference between the two groups after the intervention (p = 0.01).
Conclusions:
The findings of this study indicate that the information-based preparation program positively affected the psychological safety of hospitalized adolescents. Therefore, it is recommended that nurses incorporate this method into therapeutic programs for hospitalized adolescents to enhance their psychological safety effectively.
