The Effect of Web-based Training Given to Mothers of Babies With Congenital Heart Disease

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study was assessed the impact of a web-based education program provided to mothers of infants with congenital heart diseases on their quality of life and self-efficacy levels. The study is a mixed-method approach with a qualitative and pre-test post-test design, utilizing randomized controlled quasiexperimental type. The research was conducted with mothers of infants diagnosed with congenital heart disease who sought care at the Pediatric Cardiology Outpatient Clinic of a university hospital and were followed up. There are two groups in the study. Web-based education was provided to mothers in the intervention group (n=30). No intervention was applied to the mothers in the control group (n=30) other than the outpatient clinic routine of the hospital.

Materials and Methods: study is a mixed-method approach with a qualitative and pre-test post-test design, utilizing randomized controlled quasiexperimental type. The research was conducted with mothers of infants diagnosed with congenital heart disease who sought care at the Pediatric Cardiology Outpatient Clinic of a university hospital and were followed up. There are two groups in the study. Web-based education was provided to mothers in the intervention group (n=30). No intervention was applied to the mothers in the control group (n=30) other than the outpatient clinic routine of the hospital. Qualitative interview form, Parent-infant Introductory Information Form, Quality of Life Scale and Generalized Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale were used. The research process had two stages; in the first stage, qualitative data was collected and after qualitative interviews with mothers, the content of the web-based training was created in line with the needs of the mothers. In the second stage, quantitative data were collected, and a web-based training program was applied to the intervention group and an outpatient clinic routine to the control group.

Design Details

Primary Purpose: Supportive Care
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Interventional Model Description: There are two groups in the study. Web-based education was provided to mothers in the intervention group (n=30). No intervention was applied to the mothers in the control group (n=30) other than the outpatient clinic routine of the hospital.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Intervention Group<br>Mothers were assigned to groups by simple randomization method. The website was designed, mothers were given their usernames and passwords and their memberships were created. Pretests (Parent-Baby Introductory Information Form, Quality of Life Scale and Generalized Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale) were administered via the website. Mothers completed the modules in the web-based training program within four weeks. Four weeks later, posttests (Quality of Life Scale and Generalized Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale) were administered via the website. | Other: Web-Based Education Program<br>* This study was assessed the impact of a web-based education program provided to mothers of infants with congenital heart diseases on their quality of life and self-efficacy levels<br>|
| No Intervention: Control Group<br>Mothers' usernames and passwords were created and website memberships were made. Pretests (Parent-Baby Introductory Information Form, Quality of Life Scale and Generalized Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale) were applied. Website use by mothers in the control group was restricted and access to web-based educational content was closed to all mothers in this group. The mothers in the control group were applied the hospital outpatient clinic routine without any intervention. Four weeks later, posttests (Quality of Life Scale and Generalized Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale) were administered via the website. Pre-test and post-tests of mothers in the control group were collected via the website. After the research data was collected, a web-based training program was opened to the mothers in the control group and they were allowed to benefit from the training content. | |
