Abstract

Self-efficacy, as one of the concepts of the empowerment model, plays a role in increasing caring behaviour. Accordingly, our study aimed to evaluate the effect of educational intervention based on self-efficacy theory on the caring behaviour of mothers who have children with cancer. This quasi-experimental study was conducted on all mothers (N = 86) of children with cancer undergoing chemotherapy who were referred to Bandar Abbas Children's Hospital. All mothers participated in 10 training sessions based on the four foundations of self-efficacy theory. The results indicated a significant increase in the mean score of mothers’ self-efficacy at first and second follow-ups respectively by 10.2 and 10.9 after intervention (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the mean score of caring behaviour was increased after the intervention for the first and second follow ups by 24.6 and 25.9 from the baseline respectively (P < 0.001). The results of the present study indicated that an educational program for mothers increased their caring behaviour and self-efficacy with the increase of self-efficacy, mothers’ caring behaviour was promoted. Authorities and practitioners are suggested to pay more attention to designing educational programs based on health models and theories.
