The purpose of this research and development study were to develop a continuing nutrition care at home program in a primary health care unit and to determine the effectiveness of this program on the growth of children with congenital heart disease (CHD). The sample was recruited by a multi-stage random sampling technique. Ninety participants were categorized into 3 groups including health personnel, caregivers, and children with congenital heart disease. Data were collected from of October 2018 to September 2019 using the research instruments which consisted of the continuing nutrition care at the home program and growth record form for children with CHD. Descriptive statistics and paired t-tests were used for data analyses. The research results found that 66.6% of children with CHD were malnourished, classified as level 2 at 33.3%, level 1 at 20.0%, and level 3 at 13.3%. Those with normal weight and overweight were at 16.7%. When comparing the growth of children with CHD, it was found that the mean weight for age after receiving the program was significantly higher than before receiving the program (t=2.95, p=.006). The mean height for age of children with CHD before and after receiving the program was not significantly different (t=.36, p=.72).
