Samples were convenience sampling assigned to the experimental group (n=15) and the control group (n=15). Data were collected from September to November 2019. The experimental group received the self-efficacy enhancement program using media through smartphone, and the control group received a routine care. The instruments consisted of the enhancement program using media through smartphone, the general information questionnaire and the maternal behavioral in caring for children with pneumonia questionnaire. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was .85. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics independent t-test and paired t-test.
The results revealed that after receiving the self-efficacy enhancement program using media through smartphone, the mean score of maternal behavior in caring for children with pneumonia of experimental group was significantly higher than control group ( t16.82 = -4.43, p<.001) and higher than before the experiment ( t14 = 8.98, p<.001). The findings identify that maternal self-efficacy enhancement program using media through smartphone is effective. Nurse should apply the self-efficacy enhancement program using media through smartphone to promote their mothers in caring for children with pneumonia in order to enhance maternal ability in caring children with pneumonia.
