Hiesho is a condition characterized by having a cold sensation in the hands or feet (i.e., sensitivity of the hands or feet to cold). This condition is common among Japanese women and is an important health problem. In this study, we aimed to evaluate a hiesho intervention program for nurses called "Preventing Hiesho: Intervention Program for Educating Nurses" in terms of its effectiveness in improving the knowledge and perceptions of nurses about the importance of hiesho care.
A total of 130 nurses from Japanese hospitals and clinics providing prenatal care participated in our randomized controlled trial. Sixty-eight nurses participated in the "Preventing Hiesho: Intervention Program for Educating Nurses" for 2 weeks (intervention group). Sixty-two nurses received a pamphlet on hiesho care (control group). The responses of the participants to the questionnaire survey were collected by postal mail. An intention-to-treat analysis of the results was conducted.
One week after the implementation of the web-based learning program, the scores of knowledge and perceptions of the importance of administering hiesho care were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group.
A 2-week web-based learning program for educating nurses on preventing hiesho significantly improved their knowledge and perceptions of the importance of hiesho care.
手足发冷症是一种手足发冷（即手足对寒冷敏感）的病症。这种情况在日本女性中很常见，是一个重要的健康问题。在这项研究中，我们旨在评估一项名为“预防手足发冷：护士教育干预计划”的手足发冷干预计划，以评估其在提高护士对手足发冷护理重要性的认识和看法方面的有效性。
共有 130 名来自提供产前护理的日本医院和诊所的护士参加了我们的随机对照试验。68 名护士参加了为期 2 周的“预防手足发冷：护士教育干预计划”（干预组）。62 名护士收到了一份关于手足发冷护理的小册子（对照组）。通过邮寄方式收集参与者对问卷调查的回复。对结果进行意向治疗分析。
在实施基于网络的学习计划 1 周后，干预组对手足发冷护理重要性的知识和看法的评分明显高于对照组。
针对预防手足发冷对护士进行 2 周的基于网络的学习计划显著提高了他们对手足发冷护理重要性的认识和看法。
