About

To examine if educational digital video disk can reduce maternal 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' anxiety more after education, and until the day of discharge. Compared to only routine education, adding digital video disk could decrease mothers' anxiety more on the discharge day if their child had surgical or post-surgical complications.

Full description

Aims and objectives: To examine if educational digital video disk can reduce maternal anxiety and depression if their children undergo congenital heart disease surgery and when surgical or post-surgical complications occur.

Background: Mothers experience anxiety and depression if their children undergo conditions mentioned above.

Design: A randomized control-group pretest-posttest design. The CONSORT checklist is used.

Methods: 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' 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 anxiety and depression at discharge day was evaluated.
