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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Qualitative Interview Form

  In the first stage of the research; Qualitative data were collected. Qualitative interviews were conducted with mothers (n=11). Seven open-ended questions were asked. Categories and themes were arranged according to the content analysis created from the data. The content of the Web-based training program was created in line with the needs and requirements of mothers according to categories and themes.

  In the first stage of the research; Qualitative data were collected: once

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Parent-Baby Identification Information Form

  Form was administered to mothers in both groups before the study: once.

Other Outcomes (2)

• Quality of Life Scale Short Form (SF-36)

  SF-36 was applied to mothers in the intervention and control groups: pretest-posttest, twice (15 minutes)

• Generalized Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale (GASS)

  GASS was applied to mothers in the intervention and control groups: pretest-posttest, twice (15 minutes)

Study Arms (2)

Intervention Group

EXPERIMENTAL

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

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

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.
