| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 護理學研究所 === 81 === The purposes of this study were to investigate the effects of
a nursing educational intervention on the cognition and
worry status of mothers of children with biliary atresia and
on the nutritional status of these children. The study adopted
a one group pre- and post-test design of quasi-experiment
method. The participants were mothers and their children
with biliary atresia who were treated at one of two
hospitals, a Medical Center and a pre-Medical Center in
Taipei. The samples consisted of 23 mothers and their
children. The nursing educational intervention had three
components：the knowledge of biliary atresia and nutrition,
the diet teaching, the nutritional assessment. The same
questionnaire were used for pre- and post-test both. The pre-
test was given before the nursing educational intervention.
The nursing educational intervention was reinforced one month
after pre-test. The post-test was given two months after pre-
test. There were statistically significant changes in the
scores from the pre- and post-test of congition and worry
status of mothers. The nursing educational intervention
appeared to have a positive effect upon mothers' cognition
and worry status. There was no significant change in
nutritional status of children. The nursing education
appeared to have no effect upon children's nutritional status.
The results of the study provide understanding for caring of
children with biliary atresia and their mothers.
