Abstract:

Epistaxis is acute bleeding from the nostril, nasal cavity, or nasopharynx. A nosebleed is a relatively common and usually self-limited occurrence in childhood. However, profuse or recurrent epistaxis can be extremely distressing to children and parents. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate effect of educational guidelines on mothers’ knowledge, attitude and practice regarding care of children with epistaxis. Research design: A quasi-experimental design was utilized in the current study. Settings: This study was conducted at Inpatient and Outpatient of Ears, Nose and Throat clinic at Benha University Hospital. Subjects: A purposive sample of 70 mothers and their children who were suffering from epistaxis were included. Tools of data collection: Three tools were used: Tool I. A structured interview questionnaire sheet consisted of 3 parts, part one: Mothers characteristics, part two: Children characteristics and part three: Mother’s knowledge towards epistaxis. Tool II. Mother’s attitude towards epistaxis and Tool III. Mother’s reported practice regarding epistaxis. Results: There was a highly statistical significance difference observed between total level of knowledge, attitude and reported practice of the studied mothers regarding epistaxis in pre compared to in post educational guidelines implementation. Conclusion: The educational guidelines were effective in improving mothers’ knowledge, attitude and practice regarding care of children with epistaxis post educational guidelines implementation as compared to pre- educational guidelines implementation. Recommendation: Future researches should be replicated on a large sample of mothers in different setting which are needed for generalization of the obtained results and further studies should be applied on all health problems related with epistaxis as hemorrhagic disorders, vitamins deficiency and chronic diseases.
