Impacting of an instructional program on Mothers' knowledge toward Non-Pharmacological Pain Management: A Study Focusing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for children
Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this research is to measure mothers' knowledge of non-pharmacological pain management, determine the association between mothers' knowledge and their demographic characteristics, and find the relationship between mothers' knowledge and their children's demographic factors.
Methodology: Between December 2023 and February 2024, a quasi-experimental (non-probability) study was conducted on a sample of 50 women and their children who attended a health institution. The researcher designed an evaluation instrument based on previous research studies. Panel experts determined the content's reliability. The internal consistency of the instrument was assessed using the Alpha Correlation Coefficient, and the data was analyzed using SPSS version 26.0.
Result: The study group's knowledge scores changed significantly from pretest to posttest, whereas the control group's curve remained steady throughout the testing period.
Conclusion: Mother's knowledge regarding non – pharmacological pain management has been improved after implementation of the research program in the study group, which reveal that the effectiveness of the provided program was highly beneficial
Recommendations: The study suggests increasing mother's involvement in non – pharmacological seminars and educational sessions. Additional research is needed to focus on coping strategies for non-pharmacological pain management.
