Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A quasi-experimental study was conducted in the pediatric wards of Menoufia University Hospital and Benha University Hospital. A convenience sample of 135 children aged 6 to 18 was randomly assigned to two groups. The study group attended four empowerment sessions based on the BANSEF model, emphasizing age-appropriate information, fostering a positive attitude towards quitting nail-biting, discovering the subjective norms that influence nail-biting behaviors, and equipping children with enabling factors to quit. The control group received routine health education.

Empowerment Program Based on BASNEF Model
Initially, the researcher established rapport with children of both groups and their gradians, screened them for the eligibility criteria, explained the aim of the study, the duration and nature of the training sessions, and obtained informed assent. The researcher established the session objectives and learning activities and prepared the learning materials. The researchers also prepared the learning environment. The Empowerment program is implemented in accordance with the BANCEF model for behavior transformation into four educational sessions. After the intervention, children's nail-biting knowledge, practice, attitude, and self-efficacy were reassessed.
Control Group
