Determining the effectiveness of clinical guidelines on the care performance of mothers with children with cystic fibrosis

A clinical trial including a control group, with parallel groups, sampling will be done with a non-probability sequential method, the samples will be randomly divided into two test groups (N=28) and control (N=28) using the randomized permutation method.

Place of study: Departments of Abuzar Teaching Hospital, affiliated to Jundi Shapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz; Study population: 56 mothers with hospitalized children with cystic fibrosis who referred to the place of study,Type of blinding: Blinding is not done in this study

Caring function of Cystic fibrosis

First, the samples are selected from the research population based on the entry and exit criteria and then randomly assigned to two test groups (28) and control group (28) using blocks. generally,14 blocks are formed and the samples are randomly assigned to one of the test and control groups through blocks of 4. Symbol A is assigned to the test group and symbol B is assigned to the control group. The list of groups states is prepared in 6 states and numbers 1 to 6 are assigned to them. AABB(1), ABAB(2), ABBA(3), BBAA(4), BABA(5), BAAB(6) then the numbers 1 to 6 are chosen randomly (lottery/person outside the study) and the list of participants is created based on the selected blocks. Sample allocation is done in the control and test groups at the same time.
