Abstract

Çalışmada, Adolesan İdyopatik Skolyoz (AİS) tanılı çocukların ebeveynlerine yönelik yapılan tele-bilgilendirmenin etkinliğinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Kesitsel prospektif çalışmaya 10-18 yaş aralığında, AİS tanılı çocuğa sahip ebeveynler dahil edildi. Ebeveynlere skolyoz ve tedavi yaklaşımları, sanal gerçekliğin rehabilitasyon alanındaki kullanımı hakkında broşür ve videolar yoluyla 6 haftalık tele-bilgilendirme programı uygulandı. Tele-bilgilendirme öncesinde ve sonrasında ebeveynler Skolyoza Yönelik Eğitim Alan Ebeveynler için Bilgi Değerlendirme Formu ile değerlendirildi. Altı haftanın sonunda ebeveynler Memnuniyet Anketi ile de değerlendirildi. Tele-bilgilendirme programı 12’si anne 8’i baba olmak üzere 20 ebeveyne uygulandı. Ailelerin tele-bilgilendirme programı öncesi ve sonrası anket toplam skorlarının ortalaması sırasıyla 71 ± 21,10 ve 78,50 ± 18,70 (p <0,001) idi. Ebeveynlerin yapılan uygulamadan memnuniyetlerine bakıldığında 15 ebeveyn tele-bilgilendirme programından çok memnun kaldığını, 17 ebeveyn tele-bilgilendirmeyi başkalarına önereceğini bildirdi. Çalışmanın sonucunda AİS tanılı çocuğa sahip ebeveynlerin hastalık hakkında yeterli bilgiye sahip olmadığı görülmektedir. Elde edilen veriler tele-bilgilendirme programının ebeveynlerde skolyoz ile ilgili bilgiler ve sanal gerçekliğin rehabilitasyon alanındaki kullanımı hakkındaki farkındalığı artıracağını düşündürmektedir.

Investigation of the Effectiveness Tele-Informing for Parents of Children Diagnosed with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of tele-information provided to parents of children diagnosed with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). Parents of children diagnosed with AIS between the ages of 10-18 were included in this cross-sectional prospective study. A 6-week tele-information program was applied to the parents via brochures and videos about scoliosis and treatment approaches and the use of virtual reality in rehabilitation. Before and after the tele-information, the parents were evaluated with the Evaluation Form For Parents Receiving Education on Scoliosis . At the end of the six weeks, the parents were also evaluated with the Satisfaction Questionnaire. The tele-information program was applied to 20 parents, 12 of whom were mothers and 8 were fathers. The mean total survey scores of the parents before and after the tele-information program were 71 ± 21.10 and 78.50 ± 18.70, respectively (p <0.001). When looking at the satisfaction of the parents with the application, 15 parents reported that they were very satisfied with the tele-information program, and 17 parents reported that they would recommend tele-information to others. As a result of the study, it is seen that parents of children diagnosed with AIS do not have sufficient information about the disease. The data obtained suggest that the tele-information program will increase awareness among parents about scoliosis-related information and the use of virtual reality in the field of rehabilitation.
