  "account": "The study investigates the impact of clinical guidelines on caregiving performance among mothers with children suffering from cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that severely affects multiple organs, primarily the lungs and digestive system. The research, conducted at teaching hospital wards, involved 56 mothers of hospitalized children diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. The mothers were randomly divided into two groups - test and control - using a permutation block design.\n\nThe researchers employed several data collection tools, including a demographic information questionnaire and a specially designed questionnaire to assess the mothers' caregiving skills. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS25 software, incorporating paired t-test, independent t-test, chi-square, and analysis of covariance to evaluate the data.\n\nUpon analysis, the results showed no significant change in caregiving performance between the two groups before the intervention. However, post-intervention, the test group's caregiving performance significantly improved compared to the control group (P < 0.001). These findings suggest that the implementation of clinical guidelines enhances the caregiving capabilities of mothers with children affected by cystic fibrosis. As such, the study recommends utilizing clinical guidelines as an effective means to boost the caregiving performance of mothers with children suffering from this genetic disorder. The trial has been registered under IRCT20240501061617N1 and approved by the ethics committee of Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences. Researchers have obtained informed consent from the parents of the children involved in the study.
