Aim:
To evaluate the impact of nurse-led intervention program on the knowledge and confidence of mothers regarding home-based care of children with solid organ tumor.
Subjects And Methods:
A quasi-experimental study was conducted among 60 mothers of children with solid organ tumors at the pediatric surgery ward of a tertiary hospital. The intervention group received a nurse-led video-based program on home-based care, while the control group received standard care. A structured knowledge questionnaire and confidence assessment scale were used to assess mothers' knowledge and confidence before and after intervention at 1 week and 4 weeks.
Results:
The experimental group's mean knowledge and confidence scores were significantly higher at 1 week and 4 weeks than the control group (P < 0.05). The majority of the experimental group demonstrated good knowledge at both time points. No significant association was found between knowledge/confidence and mothers' demographics. However, a positive correlation between knowledge and confidence was noted in both the chemotherapy and postoperative groups at 4 weeks (r = 0.525 and r = 0.729, respectively).
Conclusion:
Video-based nursing intervention was effective in increasing knowledge and confidence among the mothers of children with solid organ tumors for imparting home-based care.
