Abstract

Objective

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Internet-based training on the self-efficacy of the mothers of neonates hospitalized in NICU.

Materials and methods

This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 80 mothers of premature neonates hospitalized in the NICU of 2 teaching hospitals affiliated with Tehran University of Medical Sciences during 8 months. The mothers were evaluated in 2 groups of cases and controls in the NICU. The Perceived Maternal Parenting Self-Efficacy Tool developed by Barnes was employed to evaluate the self-efficacy of the mothers on the first day of the study in both groups. A training program on the care for the premature newborn was made available at http://www.iranlms.ir/myinfant for 10 days for mothers in the intervention group. The above-mentioned tool was again used to evaluate the self-efficacy of the mothers in both groups after 10 days. Data was analyzed using Paired t-test, Fisher's exact test, chi square, and independent t-test.

Results

The results of the present study showed that the level of self-efficacy increased in mothers in both groups after 10 days but the increased was significantly greater in the intervention groups versus the control group (P < 0.001).

Conclusion

Our study showed the effectiveness of the Internet-based training in increasing maternal self-efficacy in the NICU. Considering the advantages of the Internet-based training, its use is recommended in training programs designed for parents in the NICU.

虚拟支持教育对新生儿新生儿母亲自我效能感的影响

目的探讨网络培训对新生儿住院母亲自我效能感的影响。材料与方法对德黑兰医科大学附属两所教学医院NICU住院8个月的80例早产儿母亲进行准实验研究。将新生儿重症监护室的产妇分为两组进行评估。在研究的第一天，我们采用Barnes开发的“感知母亲教养自我效能感工具”来评估两组母亲的自我效能感。在http://www.iranlms.ir/myinfant上为干预组的母亲提供了为期10天的早产儿护理培训方案。10天后再次使用上述工具评估两组母亲的自我效能感。数据分析采用配对t检验、Fisher精确检验、卡方检验和独立t检验。结果两组母亲在产后10天的自我效能感均有所提高，但干预组显著高于对照组(P <；0.001)。结论网络培训对提高新生儿重症监护病房产妇自我效能感有一定的效果。考虑到基于互联网的培训的优势，建议在为新生儿重症监护病房的家长设计的培训项目中使用互联网。实践意义本研究结果对新生儿重症监护病房护理人员提高对新生儿重症监护病房住院婴儿母亲的沟通和教育提供了一种途径。
