Abstract
Background: Survival rates for children who require intensive care for the treatment of life-threatening illness or injury have dramatically improved worldwide. In pediatric critical care, decreased mortality has been accompanied by increased morbidity. This has resulted in a shift in the contemporary focus of the international critical care community from mortality reduction alone to the optimization of survivor outcomes. This study aimed to examine the effect of educational interventions about post intensive care syndrome on knowledge and practices of pediatric patients’ caregivers Research design: A quasi - experimental research has been used to conduct this study in the Pediatric Medical Intensive Care Unit affiliated with the Mansoura University Children’s Hospital. Subjects: All available nurses, who were working in the Pediatric Medical Intensive Care Unit and 100 of mothers who were attending the pediatric intensive care setting. Tools of data collection; a questionnaire sheet and observational checklists were used to collect data. The results of this study revealed that, there has been a statistical improvement in pediatric patients’ caregivers’ knowledge and practices about post intensive care syndrome and ABCDEF bundle pre implementation of the educational interventions, immediately post and at follow up. The study concluded that, there was a positive impact of the educational interventions on improvement of caregivers’ knowledge and practices about PICS and ABCDEF bundle. The study recommended availability of educational interventions on hands brochure and books about PICS and ABCDEF bundle as a source for all caregivers in the PICU.
