Preoperative Educational Videos on Maternal Stress Whose Children Received Congenital Heart Disease Surgery: During COVID-19 Panic
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
During COVID-19 panic, we examined if educational digital video disk can reduce maternal uncertainty, anxiety and depression if their children undergo congenital heart disease surgery and when surgical or post-surgical complications occur. Compared to only routine education, adding digital video disk could decrease mothers' uncertainty and anxiety more after education, and until the day of discharge. Compared to only routine education, adding digital video disk could decrease mothers' uncertainty and anxiety more on the discharge day if their child had surgical or post-surgical complications.

Detailed Description
Aims and objectives: During COVID-19 panic, we examined if educational digital video disk can reduce maternal uncertainty, anxiety and depression if their children undergo congenital heart disease surgery and when surgical or post-surgical complications occur.
Background: Mothers experience uncertainty, anxiety and depression if their children undergo conditions mentioned above. Such stress would be more during COVID-19 panic. Design: A randomized control-group pretest-posttest design. The CONSORT checklist is used. Methods: During COVID-19 panic, in a teaching hospital, 120 mothers whose children underwent first elective surgery for congenital heart disease were randomly divided into group 1: 60 mothers receiving routine education plus digital video disk before surgery; and group 2: 60 mothers receiving routine education. Between groups, mothers' uncertainty, anxiety and depression levels were compared (1) before education, (2) after education (before surgery) and (3) on the discharge day. Among mothers whose children had surgical or post-surgical complications, the effect of watching the digital video disk on uncertainty, anxiety and depression at discharge day was evaluated.

| Other: study group mothers receiving routine education plus digital video disk before surgery |
Other: Preoperative educational videos plus routine education
Mothers receiving routine education plus digital video disk before their children receiving congenital heart disease surgery. The content was the same as the routine education but was presented audio-visually, and the video was easy to understand by the general public.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The change of Mother's uncertainty [day 1 (baseline, before education), day 1 (after education), day 5-7 (discharge day)]
The number scores of mother's uncertainty between "routine education" and "routine plus DVD education" groups. Mishel's Parent Perceptions of Uncertainty Scale (PPUS) was used to evaluate the number scores of uncertainty.
- The change of Mother's anxiety [day 1 (baseline, before education), day 1 (after education), day 5-7 (discharge day)]
The number scores of mother's anxiety between "routine education" and "routine plus DVD education" groups. Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) was used to evaluate the number scores of anxiety.
- The change of Mother's depression [day 1 (baseline, before education), day 1 (after education), day 5-7 (discharge day)]
The number scores of mother's depression between "routine education" and "routine plus DVD education" groups. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used to evaluate the number scores of depression.
