Abstract
Abstract
Background: Leukemia is a significant public health and life threating problem for pediatric cancer patients, caring for children with leukemia is challenging for parents (mothers). A mobile health supportive care intervention was developed to improve mothers' awareness about leukemia. Hence, the study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using mobile health supportive care intervention on mother's awareness of their children with leukemia. Design: Quasi-experimental research design was utilized to achieve the aim of the study. Subjects: A purposive sample of 60 educated mothers of their children diagnosed with leukemia.  Setting: The study was conducted at Oncology Institute in Sohag City and Pediatric Oncology Unit in Sohag University Hospital. Tool: An interview structured questionnaire was utilized for collecting the data. It included three parts; Part (1): Socio-demographic date of mothers of children with leukemia; Part (2): Demographic and clinical data of children; and Part (3): Mothers awareness about leukemia. Results: There was a highly statistically significant improvement in mothers' awareness regarding leukemia after using mobile health supportive care intervention compared to pre-intervention (P<0.000). Conclusion: Mobile supportive care intervention had a positive effect on improving awareness among mothers of children with leukemia. Recommendations: The study emphasized that hospitals should apply mobile health care programs for mothers to improve their awareness about leukemia.
