Determining The Effectiveness of Toy Hygiene Education For Hospitalized Mothers: Randomized Controlled Trial

The training was given to the mothers in 2 sessions (morning and afternoon), each lasting approximately 30 minutes, accompanied by the Toy Hygiene Guide. The sessions were presented face to face in the mother's room in the form of explaining, showing, question and answer and power point, at a time convenient for the mother and the child, outside the morning and afternoon treatment and care hours. After the first session was completed, an appointment was made with the mother for the afternoon session. In the second session, the information in the book that was not given in the first session was presented to the mothers face to face in the mother's room, outside the treatment and care hours, at a time convenient for the mother and the child. After the training was completed, a final five-minute discussion was held with the mothers in the form of a general question and answer session. The training book was given to the mothers in the experimental group on the first day.
