Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of giving oral information and printed informative brochures oninformation and application levels of mothers with VP shunted childrento prevent infections.Material and Methods: A prospective, randomized controlled trial design was conducted. Nine mothers in the study group were given printedinformative brochures after a 15-minute oral informative session, whereas nine mothers in the control group were given only oral information.The effectiveness of these interventions was assessed at 15th and 90th days.Results: Mothers in both groups achieved significantly higher information and application level scores at 15th and 90th days when compared totheir initial evaluation (p< 0.05). In the study group, 90 days after the informative session, the mothers achieved statistically higher informationlevel scores than the mothers in the control group (U= 8.000, p= 0.019).Conclusion: Giving printed informative brochures is more effective thangiving only oral information on mothers’ knowledge about preventingVP shunt infections. Printed informative brochures about preventing VPshunt infections could improve mothers’ level of knowledge in the longterm and avoid shunt infections.

Özet

Giriş: Ventriküloperitoneal şantlar (VP) hidrosefalinin tedavisinde yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. VP şantlarının en sık görülen komplikasyonu enfeksiyon olup, cerrahi süreçteki koruyucu önlemlere rağmen ortaya çıkabilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, şant takılan çocukların annelerine şant enfeksiyonlarını önlemeye yönelik yapılan bilgilendirmenin annelerin bilgi ve uygulama düzeylerine etkisini belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Prospektif, randomize kontrollü çalışma tasarımı kullanıldı. Çalışma grubundaki dokuz anneye 15 dakikalık sözel bilgilendirme oturumundan sonra bilgilendirme broşürü verildi, kontrol grubundaki dokuz anneye ise sadece sözel bilgilendirme yapıldı. Girişimlerin etkinliği 15. ve 90. günlerde değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Her iki gruptaki annelerin bilgilendirme öncesindeki bilgi ve uygulama düzeylerinin 15. ve 90. günlerde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yükseldiği belirlendi (p< 0.05). Çalışma grubunun bilgilendirmeden 3 ay sonraki bilgi puan ortalamasının kontrol grubundan istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğu belirlendi (U= 8.000, p= 0.019). Sonuç: Annelerin VP şant enfeksiyonlarını önleme konusundaki bilgilerinin arttırılması konusunda basılı bilgilendirme broşürlerinin verilmesi, sadece sözel bilgi vermekten daha etkilidir. VP şant enfeksiyonlarının önlenmesine yönelik bilgilendirme broşürleri, annelerin uzun vadede bilgi düzeylerini arttırabilir ve şant enfeksiyonlarını önleyebilir.
