Abstract

Parent participation in caring for children with pneumonia in hospitals is important for these children’s health status. This quasi-experimental approach aimed to compare parent participation in caring for children with pneumonia. The sample included 64 parents of children with pneumonia aged 1 – 3 years. Purposive samples were recruited from the parents in a pediatric ward from July to September 2023. They were divided into a control group and an experimental group of 32 people each. The experimental group received routine care plus the self-efficacy promoting program while the control group received only routine care. The research instruments included the self-efficacy promoting program and parent participation scales in caring for children with pneumonia. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-test Results revealed that the parent participation in the experimental group after program implementation was significantly higher than that of the control group (t = 7.58, p = .000) and significantly higher than before attending the program (t = 13.88, p = .000). The study results indicate that the self-efficacy promoting program can increase parent participation in caring for children with pneumonia.
