简要总结
The study aims to evaluate the effect of an empowerment program based on the BASNEF model on children's knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy, and practice of nail biting.
Research Hypothesis H1: The application of an empowerment program based on the BASNEF model has a positive impact on children's knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy, and practice of nail biting.
详细描述
Nail-biting or onychophagia is a common phenomenon affecting children where excessive nail-biting is associated with several adverse consequences beyond mere appearance. The aim is to evaluate the effect of an empowerment program based on the BASNEF model on children's knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy, and practice of nail biting.
A quasi-experimental study was conducted in the pediatric wards of Menoufia University Hospital and Benha University Hospital. A convenience sample of 135 children aged 6 to 18 was randomly assigned to two groups. The study group attended four empowerment sessions based on the BANSEF model, emphasizing age-appropriate information, fostering a positive attitude towards quitting nail-biting, discovering the subjective norms that influence nail-biting behaviors, and equipping children with enabling factors to quit. The control group received routine health education.
