This quasi-experimental research was conducted in a two-group pre-test and post-test design to study the effects of a maternal coaching program via an application on maternal behavior in caring for children with pneumonia. The sample consisted of 30 mothers of children with pneumonia aged 1 month to 5 years who were admitted for the first time to the pediatric ward at Chonburi Hospital. The samples were selected by convenience sampling and divided into an experimental group and a control group, 15 patients per group. Data were collected from January to May 2024. The experimental group received the maternal coaching program via an application, and the control group received regular nursing care.
The research instruments consisted of the maternal coaching program via an application, a general information questionnaire, and a maternal behavior questionnaire in caring for children with pneumonia. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.85. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a t-test. The results of the research found that: After the experiment, the mothers in the experimental group had a significantly higher mean score on child care behaviors for children with pneumonia than the control group and higher than before the experiment (p-value<0.001, p-value<0.001, respectively).
