Abstract
Children are the future of our society and special gifts to the world. The birth of an infant with congenital Heart disease is very stressful for parents. According to American Heart Association congenital heart disease occurs in approximately 1% of live birth per year nationally. Mothers are routinely held responsible for the care of children. Mothers of children with congenital heart disease must assume the role of caregiver soon after surgery. A study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of Information Education communication package on home care management subjected to cardiothoracic surgery among mothers of children in Frontier Lifeline Hospital, Mogappair, Chennai, 2010- 2011. The objective of the study was to assess the pre test level of knowledge and post test level of knowledge on home care management among mothers and compare the effectiveness of information education communication package and association of the post test level of knowledge with their demographic variables. The study was conducted by adopting pre-experimental one group pre test post test design. 30 mothers of children who have fulfilled the inclusion criteria were selected by using non probability purposive sampling technique. The conceptual framework adopted was based on Roy’s adaptation model. In this study, by using assisted self administered questionnaire, a pre test was done which revealed that 24 of them had inadequate knowledge and 6 of them had moderately adequate knowledge. After giving information education communication package (pamphlets and video clippings) on home care management a post test was done. Analysis revealed that there was a significant improvement in the level of mother’s knowledge. Therefore, Information Education Communication package can be used as a safe and effective tool, which helps in improving the level of mother’s knowledge.
