Heated humidified high flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) in hospitalized young children help reduce volume of oxygen loss and resistance in the nasal cavity. It also creates a positive pressure in the system, which helps to reduce the energy required for breathing, resulting in better respiratory rate and blood oxygen saturation. Nurses who perform care duties need to have knowledge, be aware of their own abilities, and have appropriate behaviors for caring for this group of young children.
Objective: To study the effects of a program to promote perceived self - efficacy of professional nurses according to clinical nursing practice guideline for young children receiving HHHFNC on knowledge, perceived self-efficacy and care behavior for young children in a hospital.
Method: This was a quasi-experimental research study with 15 professional nurses working in the pediatric ward. Data were collected over a two-month period. The research instruments were validated by five experts, yielding content validity index (CVI) values of 1.00 for the knowledge questionnaire, 0.89 for the self-efficacy questionnaire, and 1.00 for the care behavior questionnaire. The reliability of the knowledge questionnaire, the self-efficacy questionnaire, and the care behavior questionnaire were tested, using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and the Kuder-Richardson 20 (KR-20) coefficient, resulting in reliability coefficients of 0.95, 0.99, and 0.93, respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation) and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
Results: The professional nurses had significantly higher mean scores of knowledge, perceived self-efficacy, and HHHFNC instrument care behavior after receiving the program (p< 0.05). The behavior of caring for young children before and after receiving the program was not significantly different (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Professional nurses should be encouraged to participate in the program to enhance their knowledge, perceived self-efficacy, and care behaviors for young children receiving HHHFNC therapy, which will improve the quality of life of pediatric patients.
