Effect of Rational Drug Education on the Attitudes of Parents of Hospitalized Children

July 9, 2024 updated by: Aslı Akdeniz Kudubeş, Bilecik Seyh Edebali Universitesi
In this project, it was aimed to determine the effect of the rational drug management training program on parents' attitudes towards rational drug use. The project is designed as a randomized controlled study and will consist of experimental and control groups. An education program on rational drug use will be applied to the parents in the experimental group. The originality of this project is the evaluation of the effect of the education program on rational drug use applied to parents whose children are hospitalized. Although studies on rational drug use in parents have increased in recent years, most of them consist of descriptive studies aimed at evaluating knowledge and attitudes towards rational drug use. It seems that the number of intervention studies on rational drug use in parents is limited. No intervention studies aimed at the rational drug use attitudes of parents whose children are hospitalized have been found. This study has the feature of revealing the effectiveness of the rational drug use education program to be applied to parents in cases of illness and hospitalization where the importance of rational drug use becomes evident.
