Abstract

Background : Dengue (break-bone fever) is a viral infection that spreads from mosquitoes to children. It is more common in tropical and subtropical climates. Assessing mothers' knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) is deemed necessary, yet, at present, to the best of knowledge, attitude, and practices . Aim: To determine the effect of educational guidelines on mothers' knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding dengue fever complications prevention among their children . Subjects and method: Design: A quasi-experimental research design was used to fulfill the aim of this study. Setting: The study was carried out in Pediatric outpatient clinics at Sohag University Hospital. Subjects : A purposive sample of 100 mothers involved in the current study from the previously selected settings. Four tools were used: Tool (I) a structured interview questionnaire, was composed of two parts: Part (1): Mothers' personal data, Part (2): Children's personal data; Tool (II) Mothers' knowledge regarding dengue fever, Tool (III) Mothers' attitude regarding dengue fever, (pre/post), and Tool (IV) Mothers' practice regarding dengue fever. Results : A statistically significant difference was detected between pregnant mothers' level of knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding dengue fever complications prevention among their children after educational guidelines implementation at (P= <0.001) . Conclusion: Educational guidelines implementation has positively affected mothers' knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding dengue fever complications prevention among their children . Recommendations: Educational instruction implementation regarding dengue fever is recommended in various maternity healthcare settings. Educational booklets should be provided about dengue fever complication prevention for mothers and taught using the booklet and illustrated pamphlets for each one to improve their knowledge.

教育指南对母亲预防子女登革热并发症的知识、态度和做法的影响

背景：登革热（断骨热）是一种由蚊子传播给儿童的病毒感染。它在热带和亚热带气候中更为常见。对母亲的知识、态度和做法（KAP）进行评估被认为是必要的，然而，目前对母亲的知识、态度和做法的评估还不够充分。目的：确定教育指南对母亲预防子女登革热并发症的知识、态度和实践的影响。研究对象和方法设计：采用准实验研究设计来实现本研究的目的。研究环境：研究在苏哈格大学医院儿科门诊进行。研究对象：从之前选定的环境中抽取 100 名母亲参与本次研究。使用了四种工具：工具 (I) 是一份结构化访谈问卷，由两部分组成：第（1）部分：母亲的个人资料，第（2）部分：工具（二）母亲对登革热的认识，工具（三）母亲对登革热的态度（前/后），工具（四）母亲对登革热的做法。结果：在实施教育指南后，怀孕母亲对其子女预防登革热并发症的知识水平、态度和做法之间存在统计学差异（P= <0.001）。结论教育指南的实施对母亲预防登革热并发症的知识、态度和实践产生了积极影响。建议：建议在各种孕产妇保健机构实施有关登革热的教育指导。应向母亲提供有关预防登革热并发症的教育手册，并利用手册和图文并茂的小册子向每位母亲传授相关知识，以提高她们的认识。
