The effectiveness of a nurse-led intervention in enhancing self-efficacy and quality of life (QoL) among mothers of children with clubfoot is of interest. Sixty mothers were selected and received structured educational sessions on child care. Data shows significant improvements in maternal self-efficacy and QoL, with all QoL domains showing statistically significant gains. The study highlights the importance of nurse-led interventions in enhancing maternal caregiving capabilities. Thus, we show that such programs contribute to better treatment adherence and overall well-being for mothers.

Titration Calculations: Strong Acid - Strong Base
A titration is carried out for 25.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl (strong acid) with 0.100 M of a strong base NaOH. The pH at different volumes of added base solution can be calculated as follows:
(a) Titrant volume = 0 mL. The solution pH is due to the acid ionization of HCl. Because this is a strong acid, the ionization is complete and the hydronium ion molarity is 0.100 M. The pH of the solution is then:
