The purpose of this nursing intervention study, which used a pre- and posttest design, was to determine the effect of an education program on parents' knowledge of hydrocephalus and shunt dynamics in a sample of parents of children with hydrocephalus. Study participants were parents of hydrocephalic children treated with an initial shunt or a shunt revision. The convenience sample of 41 subjects was divided into two groups (A or B). Group A participants were parents whose child received an initial shunt. Group B participants were parents whose child was admitted for a shunt revision. The shunt education intervention had three components: a shunt handbook, a preoperative teaching session with the clinical nurse specialist and a subsequent reinforcement teaching session. The pre- and posttest were the same seven multiple choice questions on hydrocephalus and shunts. In both groups, the pretest was given before the shunt education intervention. The posttest was given 2-3 weeks after the patient's surgery. There was a statistically significant change in the scores from the pre- and posttests for Group A (p = 0.0092). The nursing education appeared to have a positive effect upon this group's knowledge of hydrocephalus and shunts.
这项护理干预研究采用前后测设计，目的是在脑积水患儿家长样本中，确定一个教育项目对家长关于脑积水和分流动力学知识的影响。研究参与者是接受初次分流或分流修正治疗的脑积水患儿的家长。41名受试者的便利样本被分为两组（A组或B组）。A组参与者是孩子接受初次分流的家长。B组参与者是孩子因分流修正而入院的家长。分流教育干预有三个组成部分：一本分流手册、与临床护理专家进行的术前教学课程以及随后的强化教学课程。前后测是关于脑积水和分流的相同的七个多项选择题。在两组中，前测在分流教育干预之前进行。后测在患者手术后2至3周进行。A组前后测得分有统计学显著变化（p = 0.0092）。护理教育似乎对该组关于脑积水和分流的知识有积极影响。
