Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: For the intervention group, a training program based on the family-centered empowerment model will be implemented. The stages of the family-centered empowerment model will include four stages: 1- Understanding the threat, 2- Improving self-efficacy, 3- Self-belief and increasing self-confidence, 4. Evaluation. Step one, Understanding the threat: The first stage in the family-centered empowerment model is to increase perceived severity and sensitivity. The purpose of perceived severity (awareness and knowledge of the individual about the disease) is for the individual to understand the seriousness of the disease by recognizing the risks or complications of the disease and to feel threatened by it. Step two, Self-efficacy: Problem solving or problem solving will be implemented in a group method. For this purpose, problem solving sessions (two 40- to 60-minute sessions) will be held for a group of patients and their families. Step three, Self-belief and increasing self-confidence: In this stage, the patient will be asked to teach the family the material discussed in the previous sessions during a session and to do this with the researcher's help and guidance if needed. The goal of this stage is to increase patients' self-confidence by observing their ability to provide information to family members and support them. Step Four, Evaluation: The evaluation of the process during the empowerment sessions will be carried out in such a way that the educational materials of the previous sessions are evaluated in the form of questions and answers in the next session.
