Brief Summary

This study was designed as an experimental study with pre-test-post-test comparisons and control groups, in order to investigate the effects of salutogenic model-based care on the individual integrity and coping attitudes of mothers with febrile children.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• COPE-Coping Attitudes Assessment Scale

  COPE-Coping Attitudes Assessment Scale "Ways of Coping" was developed by Folkman and Lazarus in 1980 and COPE was developed by Carver, Scheier and Weintraub in 1989 (Folkman et al. 1980, Wegner et al. 1987). Coping Attitudes Assessment Scale is a self-report scale consisting of 60 questions and 15 subscales. Questions are answered with the options "I never do it" (1), "I occasionally do it" (2), "I do it moderately" (3), "I do it often" (4). Each of the subscales provides information about a different coping attitude. The higher the score a person gets from the subscales provides information about which coping attitude the person uses more.

• Outcome Measure

  The Sense of Integrity Scale The Sense of Integrity Scale used in the study was developed by Antonovsky (1987) to measure the abilities of individuals to maintain their health despite stress. The first version of the SOC consists of 29 items on a 7-point Likert-type scale. Eleven items on this scale relate to "understandability," eight items to "meaningfulness," and ten items to "manageability" (Geyer 1997). In 1987, Antonovsky revised the existing SOC scale and developed a shorter version consisting of 13 items. In this short version, five items measure understandability, four items to "meaningfulness," and the remaining four items to "manageability," all on a 7-point Likert-type scale. The scale is a self-report scale consisting of 13 items ranging from 1 to 7. It varies between 13 and 91 points.

Study Arms (2)

Experimental Group

EXPERIMENTAL

While applying the salutogenic care model to the mothers in the experimental group (n=45), a total of three data collection forms were used: the Personal Introduction Form, the Sense of Individual Integrity Scale, and the Coping Attitudes Assessment Scale.

Other: Salutogenic Care Model Training Program

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

While routine midwifery care was given to mothers in the control group (n=45) in the service, a total of three data collection forms were used: a Personal Introduction Form, the Sense of Individual Integrity Scale, and the Coping Attitudes Assessment Scale.

Interventions

Salutogenic Care Model Training Program OTHER

Salutogenic Care Model Training Program This is a training program that involves meeting with the salutogenic care model in 3 sessions, providing both fever-related training and completing forms. 1. st Interview: Comprehensibility phase; This includes providing the mother with information about fever, ensuring that she is informed about fever, the cause of fever and what she should do. 2. nd Interview: Management phase; This includes ensuring that the mother knows which practices are effective in cases of fever, the amount, timing and frequency of medication administration, and the complications that may develop if the fever is not treated correctly. 3. rd Interview: Meaningfulness phase; This includes ensuring that the mother does not panic during a fever, preventing her fears, and reducing her anxiety because she knows how to approach a feverish child.
