Impact of Tele-Nursing on Mothers of Children with Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder affecting many children. A recent study explored how telephone support, known as tele-nursing, can help mothers manage their anxiety and improve their confidence in caring for their children after they leave the hospital.
Study Overview
The study involved 90 mothers of children with epilepsy, who were divided into two groups: one receiving tele-nursing support and a control group. The researchers used questionnaires to measure anxiety and self-efficacy before and after the support was provided.
Key Findings
After receiving 10 telephone calls over two months, mothers in the tele-nursing group showed:
- Lower Anxiety: There was a significant decrease in anxiety levels among mothers who received tele-nursing support.
- Higher Self-Efficacy: These mothers felt more confident in their ability to care for their children.
Conclusion
The study concluded that tele-nursing significantly helps reduce anxiety and increases self-efficacy in mothers of children with epilepsy. It is recommended to implement tele-nursing programs that cater to the educational needs of parents.
Practical Implications for Clinics and Patients
Measurable Outcomes
Clinics can set clear goals, such as reducing maternal anxiety and increasing self-efficacy, which can be measured through follow-up assessments.
Opportunities for Implementation
Tele-nursing can be expanded as a regular part of post-discharge care, providing ongoing support for families managing epilepsy.
