Background of the Study: Childhood diseases such as malaria, diarrhea, and respiratory infections are leading causes of morbidity and mortality among children, particularly in developing countries like Nigeria. Early prevention, through proper knowledge of hygiene practices, vaccination schedules, and the recognition of symptoms, is critical in reducing the burden of these diseases. Nurses have a unique role in educating parents on preventive health practices, as they are often the first point of contact in healthcare settings (Okoro et al., 2024).
In Kaduna State, the rate of preventable childhood diseases remains high, partly due to inadequate parental knowledge about disease prevention, vaccination, and early symptom recognition. Nurse-led parental education programs have the potential to address this gap by providing parents with essential knowledge and resources to prevent childhood illnesses and seek timely medical care. Despite the known benefits of such programs, there is limited research on the effectiveness of nurse-led education in improving childhood disease prevention in Kaduna State. This study aims to evaluate the impact of nurse-led parental education on childhood disease prevention in the state.
Statement of the Problem: Many parents in Kaduna State lack sufficient knowledge regarding the prevention of common childhood diseases, contributing to high rates of morbidity and mortality. Nurse-led educational programs can play a key role in addressing this gap; however, there is a lack of research into the effectiveness of such programs in the region. This study aims to evaluate the impact of nurse-led parental education on childhood disease prevention and identify factors that affect its success.
Objectives of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of nurse-led parental education on preventing childhood diseases in Kaduna State.
- To identify factors that influence the effectiveness of nurse-led parental education in disease prevention.
- To recommend strategies for improving the effectiveness of nurse-led education programs in childhood disease prevention.
Research Questions:
- How effective is nurse-led parental education in preventing childhood diseases in Kaduna State?
- What factors influence the success of nurse-led parental education programs in childhood disease prevention?
- How can nurse-led education programs be improved to enhance childhood disease prevention in Kaduna State?
Research Hypotheses:
- Nurse-led parental education significantly reduces the incidence of preventable childhood diseases in Kaduna State.
- Parental knowledge of disease prevention is positively correlated with the effectiveness of nurse-led education programs.
- Cultural beliefs, educational background, and access to healthcare significantly influence the effectiveness of nurse-led education in preventing childhood diseases.
Scope and Limitations of the Study: This study will focus on evaluating nurse-led parental education programs in Kaduna State, specifically their impact on childhood disease prevention. Limitations include variability in parental engagement and potential biases in self-reported data from parents and healthcare providers.
Definitions of Terms:
- Nurse-led education: Health education programs designed and implemented by nurses to improve knowledge and behavior, focusing on disease prevention and health promotion.
- Childhood diseases: Illnesses affecting children, particularly those that can be prevented through vaccination, hygiene, and early medical intervention.
