The effect of nursing support given to the siblings and mothers of children with chronic Hematologic-Oncologic disease on the anxiety levels of the siblings and mothers

Amaç: Kronik hematolojik-onkolojik hastalığı olan çocukların kardeşleri ve annelerine verilen hemşirelik desteğinin kaygı düzeylerine etkisini belirlemektir. Yöntem: Bu çalışma ön test-son test düzenli tanımlayıcı tipte yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya araştırma kriterlerine uyan kronik hastalığı olan çocukların kardeşleri (n=45) ve anneleri (n=45) alındı. Araştırma verileri, “Sosyodemografik Soru Formu” ve “Durumluk Sürekli Kaygı Envanteri” (Ön test-Son test) kullanılarak üç aşamada toplanmıştır. Önce, ön test için “Durumluk Sürekli Kaygı Envanteri” uygulandı. Ardından, kardeşlere ve annelere hemşirelik desteği verildi, stres ile baş etme yöntemleri öğretildi ve son olarak, son test olarak aynı envanter uygulandı. Elde edilen veriler bilgisayar ortamında (SPSS 10.0) sayı, yüzdelik hesapları, bağımsız gruplarda iki ortalama arasındaki farkın önemlilik testi. Mann Whitney U testi ve Wilcoxon işareti sıra testi ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Araştırma kapsamına alınan kardeşlerin yaş ortalamaları 12,4±2,4 yıl idi. Kızlarda hemşirelik desteği sonrasında durumluk kaygı puan ortalamaları anlamlı bir şekilde azalırken (p0,05), ancak sürekli kaygı puan ortalamaları arasındaki farkın önemli olduğu (p

Objective: To determine the effect of nursing support given to the siblings and mothers of children with chronic hematologic-oncologic disease on the anxiety levels of the siblings and mothers. Method: This research was a pre test-post test and descriptive study. The siblings (n=45) and mothers (n=45) of children with chronic disease who met the research criteria were included in the study. Data were collected by means of a “Socio-demographic Form” and “State- Trait Anxiety Inventory” (Pretest-Posttest) in three stages. First, the “State-Trait Anxiety Inventory” was applied as a pre-test. Then, the siblings and mothers were given nursing support and taught methods to cope with stress. Finally, the same inventory was given as a post-test. The data obtained were evaluated via computer software (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 10.0) by using number and percentage, t-test independent samples, Mann Whitney-U test and Wilcoxon signed rank tests. Results: Mean age of the siblings included in the study was 12.4±2.4. After nursing support, it was determined that state anxiety scores in sisters decreased significantly (p0.05), while the difference between trait anxiety scores was significant (p
