Video vs. booklet: which training eases Mothers' stress in the ICU?
NCT ID NCT05950425
First seen Sep 04, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether teaching mothers how to perform aspiration care for their children in the intensive care unit can lower their anxiety and hopelessness. Researchers will compare two teaching methods: a video and a picture booklet. The study includes mothers whose children are ready to leave the ICU and who have not done aspiration before. The goal is to see if better preparation helps mothers feel more confident and less distressed.
