简要总结
Aim: Evaluate the effect of a nursing teaching protocol on mastitis prognosis. Research design: Quasi-experimental research design was utilized. A convenient sample of sixty adult female patients diagnosed with mastitis, Patients divided equally into two groups(study and control) thirty for each.
详细描述
The study was conducted in the breast unit in general surgery department at Main Assiut University Hospital. A convenient sample of sixty adult female patients diagnosed with mastitis, their ages range from 20 to 65years old. Patients divided equally into two groups; thirty for each. Both groups had been assessed at base line using the following tools:
Tool (I): An interview questionnaire sheet Tool (II):Mastitis self-care practices Tool (III): Numeric pain rating scale Tool (IV): Mastitis prognosis sheet
The control group exposed to routine care and study group received mastitis teaching protocol. After three weeks; both groups had been reassessed by the same tools.
Data analysis had been performed by using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Categorical variables described by number and percent (N, %). Continuous variables described by mean and standard deviation (Mean, SD). Chi-square test and Fisher exact test used to compare between categorical variables .T-test and Pearson's chi-square used to appear the association between patients' knowledge, practice, and mastitis prognosis before implementation of nursing teaching protocol and three weeks post.

结局指标
主要结局
Compare the difference between the mean practice of participants (study and control groups) regarding mastitis care and management at base line & follow up after three weeks.
时间窗: Base line assessment: Is the first assessment --------- Follow up assessment:: after three weeks
The performance of participants (study and control groups) regarding mastitis care and management had been assessed twice (baseline- follow up) using: Tool II: "Mastitis self-care practices". Tool II: It was structured by authors and reviewed by a panel of experts in General Surgery and Medical -Surgical Nursing. Scoring: A total score of 60% or higher considered as adequate self-care practices and less than 60% considered as inadequate. Three points scale used to grade the steps. Two points for doing correctly. One point for doing incorrectly and zero point for not doing at all.
Compare the difference between the mean knowledge of participants (study and control groups) regarding mastitis care and management at base line & follow up after three weeks.
时间窗: Base line assessment: Is the first assessment --------- Follow up assessment:: after three weeks
The knowledge of participants(study and control groups) regarding mastitis care and management had been assessed twice( base line - follow up) using: Tool I: An interview questionnaire sheet (part 2) Tool I: It was structured by authors and reviewed by a panel of experts in General Surgery and Medical -Surgical Nursing. Each answered question scored from 0 to 3 marks as follows; 3 marks for complete correct answer, 2 marks for incomplete correct answer, 1 mark for incorrect answer and zero for not known answer. The range of total score lies between 0-30, the scoring system interpreted in the results into satisfactory and unsatisfactory; satisfactory: if the total knowledge score is ≥ 60% and unsatisfactory if the total knowledge score is \< 60%.
次要结局
- Number of mastitis recurrence among participants(study -control) .(At the third week from base line assessment.)
- Number of participants (study -control) who completely cured from mastitis(At the third week from base line assessment.)
- Pain level using Numeric Pain Rating scale(Base line assessment: Is the first assessment --------- Follow up assessment:: after three weeks)
- Number of participants(study -control) who discontinued breast feeding(At the third week from base line assessment.)
- Number of participants (study -control) who their condition complicated with formation of breast abscess.(At the third week from base line assessment.)
