Abstract:

Introduction: In the dispatch education that will be given to the parents of premature newborns, the internet can be used as an alternative method. The aim is to evaluate the impact of web-based education given to the parents of premature newborns on the level of self-confidence and concern. Method: The research is a semi-experimental randomized controlled study in the pre-test-final test control group order, and was carried out via the website called http://kuvozdehayatvar.com. The three-week planed training and consultancy program for parents in the working group is carried out through this website. The standard hospital deportation protocol has not been implemented, the parents in the control group have not been interfering in the deportation training. The research data was collected with the indicative information form, the latest test evaluation form, the Pharis Self-Confidence Scale (PEO) and the Beck Anxiety Scale (BEO). The effectiveness of the training is assessed by comparing the scale scales of the pre-test and the final test. Results: Parents in the working group have a lower pre-test PEO score average than those in the control group (U = 2479.00, p < .05), and in the final test the PEO score average is higher than those in the control group (t = 6.39, p < .05) The work group pre-test BAO score average is higher than the control group (t = 2.96, p < .05) and the final test group's BAO score average is lower than the control group (t = -8.29, p < .05) The result: Web-based education has been found to be effective in increasing the confidence of premature newborn parents in child care and reducing their levels of anxiety.
