Brief Summary

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is applied in the childhood age group for many reasons such as hematological malignancies, immune deficiencies, hemoglobinopathies, bone marrow failures and congenital metabolic diseases. The transplantation process, which requires a long hospitalization process, is an experience that causes anxiety for the child and the caregiver.

Detailed Description

It is known that during the home care process after discharge, parents experience anxiety because they are away from health professionals, and they need information and support in their care needs. This research has two purposes. 1; Developing a technology-supported home care education program (IBK-EBP) (supported by face-to-face education and mobile application) based on Human Theory of Care (IBK) for home care of children with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. 2; It is to determine the effect of IBK-EBP education program on parents' knowledge, self-efficacy, anxiety level and quality of life. The study was planned in a single-center, follow-up, double-blind, randomized controlled design. The research sample was planned to be composed of 40 parents, 20 of which were interventions and 20 of which were controls. The home care training program, which will be prepared with up-to-date information in line with the literature; It includes face-to-face training sessions and ensuring the continuity of education at home with the mobile application to be developed. The content of the home care training program to be prepared in this context; regulation of the home environment, compliance with treatment, food safety, personal hygiene and care, social environment, planning of school life and progressive relaxation exercises. As part of the training program, parents will be shown a CD of progressive relaxation exercises before the training. Research data will be collected by a nurse other than the researchers, who was not involved in the study. Research data will be collected using the "Parent and Child Identification Form", "Parent's Knowledge Level of Care Assessment Form", "General Self-Efficacy Scale", "Quality of Life Scale for Caregivers of Cancer Patients" and "Spielberger State and Trait Anxiety Inventory". With a technology-supported home care education program to be developed based on the Human Care Theory it is predicted that the knowledge, self-efficacy, quality of life of the parents will increase and the level of anxiety will decrease, by ensuring the ease and continuity of access to information.

Study Groups

İntervention group

The sample of the study will be the parents of children who have had hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at Akdeniz University Hospital and whose discharge is planned (n=20).

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Educational Programe

Intervention Type: OTHER

IBK-EBP will be administered to parents in six sessions in six days. After six days of training, the mobile application will be used by parents for 8 weeks. The frequency of use of the mobile application will be left entirely to the needs of the parents and reminders will be made through the mobile application. In addition, the video used during the face-to-face training, progressive relaxation exercise videos and motivational sentences will also be included in the mobile application.

Control group

The control group will be the parents of children who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at Akdeniz University Hospital and are planned to be discharged (n=20). Participants in this group will receive routine care, and at the end of the study, training program will be applied.

Group Type: NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
