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.

Detailed Description

The research was conducted with 90 mothers, 45 in the experimental group and 45 in the control group, with children aged 0-5 years who were diagnosed with fever and admitted to the pediatric emergency department of Zeynep Kâmil Women and Children's Diseases Education and Research Hospital between October 1, 2023 and May 1, 2024. A total of three data collection forms were used in the research: Personal Introduction Form, Individual Integrity Sense Scale, and Coping Attitudes Assessment Scale. While the salutogenic care model was applied to the mothers in the experimental group (n=45), the routine midwifery care applied in the department was given to the mothers in the control group (n=45).

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Salutogenic Care Model Training Program

Intervention Type: 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.

Control Group

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.
