16 juni 2026 uppdaterad av: Dr Winsome Lam

Nurse-led Integrated Home Health Service to Support Parents in Symptom Management for Children With Respiratory Support: an Effectiveness-implementation Hybrid 2 Study

The aims of this study are to test the effectiveness of a nurse-led integrated home health service to enhance parental self-efficacy in symptom management for children requiring respiratory support, and alongside identify factors facilitating or deterring the program implementation.

A single group pre-post quasi-experimental study on parents of CMC requiring respiratory support.

Parents will be recruited from non-government organizations, with an estimated sample size of 80 parents. Self-administrated questionnaire, and semi-structured interview guide will be used for data collection.

Studieöversikt

Detaljerad beskrivning

Parents of children required respiratory support are at risk of high stress levels because these children have multisystem diseases, including severe neurologic conditions, resulting in potential premature death. Literature suggested that increasing parental self-efficacy in managing their child's symptoms could improve the child's health.

Nurse-led integrated home health service in symptom management is an alternative method considered more comprehensive and health-parent interactivity to continue home-based support for these parents and their children.

Self-administrated questionnaire, and semi-structured interview guide will be used for data collection. Descriptive statistics, including proportions for categorical variables, mean, and SD for normally distributed continuous variables, and median and inter-quartile range for non-normally distributed variables, will be reported. Generalized estimating equation will be used to address the objectives with appropriate link function. Qualitative data will be analyzed using thematic analysis to identify the facilitator, and barriers of program implementation.
