Abstract
Problem
Adolescence is a period of biological, cognitive, psychosocial, and emotional development. Negative experiences of Coronavirus (COVID-19) infection are associated with more changes which impacts on quality of life (QoL). However, parent-proxy and child self-reports may vary, and we have lack of knowledge about these discrepancies. The aim of this study was to identifying the impact of mother−daughter health education on female adolescents' QoL during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods
This quasi-experimental study was conducted at two time points; before (T1) and 3 months after health education thorough blended learning (T2) from January to May of 2020. Then 196 participants were divided into intervention (N = 96) and control (N = 100) groups and Health Related QoL was assessed using the PedsQL™.
Results
The results showed significant increase in scores of total QoL and all QoL domains in adolescents by self-reports of adolescents and mothers proxy reports (except emotional performance) compared to the control group at T2 (p < 0.05). Furthermore, mother's rated increase in social performance significantly higher in both groups at T2.
Conclusions
With high social anxiety due to COVID-19, adolescents may be vulnerable to various risks. Improving mothers understanding of the needs of their adolescents are an important issue; given that it is possible increase their QoL by health education, especially during COVID-19 pandemic. It is recommended to organized health education in schools to increase the knowledge of mother–daughter thorough blended learning.
