Recurrent pneumonia is still a common problem and prevalence is higher among children. Maternal Practice is the most effective way to prevent recurrent pneumonia. The purpose of this correlational descriptive study was to examine maternal practices and related factors for recurrent pneumonia prevention in children. The subjects of this study included mothers of children with pneumonia under the age of five years and admitted to the pediatrics unit at Nakornping Hospital, Chiangrai Prachanukroh Hospital, Lamphun Hospital and Lampang Hospital. Data were collected from March to May 2015. The study instruments were comprised of a maternal practices for recurrent pneumonia prevention in children questionnaire and a related factors of maternal practices for recurrent pneumonia prevention in children questionnaire, which recorded the perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barrier and perceived self-efficacy. The content validity of all questionnaires were confirmed to be valid by a panel of experts, scoring the values.84, .80, .88, .94 and .95 respectively. The reliability of the questionnaires was also tested. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of the questionnaire were 0.80, 0.80, 0.80, 0.81 and 0.92. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient and the Spearman rank correlation coefficient.
The results of this study showed that:
- 1. Seventy-one point eight percent of the mothers had high levels of practice in recurrent pneumonia prevention.
- 2. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between perceived self-efficacy and maternal practices for recurrent pneumonia prevention in children (r = .233, p < .05).
This study provides an understanding of maternal practices and perceived self-efficacy for mothers to help prevent recurrent pneumonia in children. This information can be used as a guide to improve their maternal practices for recurrent pneumonia prevention in children.
