Abstract

Background: A video-assisted discharge education program for preterm infants guarantees optimal practices and assists mothers in receiving the right kind of care. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of a video-assisted education program about the discharge of preterm infants on mothers’ readiness and self-confidence. Design: The research study design was quasi-experimental. A suitable sample of 60 mothers with preterm infants was gathered from the neonatal critical care unit at Al-Azhar Damietta Hospital. Tools: Socio Demographic Characteristics Sheet, Pharis Self-Confidence Scale (PSCS), and Readiness for Discharge Scale for mothers and preterm infants were used. Results: There was a highly statistically significant difference in the total mean score of the Pharis self-confidence scale (PSCS) and the scale for the readiness of the mother in the study group who received the video-assisted discharge education than the control group who received routine care. Conclusion: According to the study's findings, mothers who participated in a video-assisted discharge guide program had greater self-confidence and preparedness than those in the control group. Recommendations: To mothers 'readiness and self-confidence for preterm infants at home, neonatal nurses should incorporate video-assisted instruction into routine NICU discharge planning.
