Abstract

Background: Children who experience testicular torsion suffer a great deal of morbidity, but it is difficult to estimate the social costs that established the risk factors for testicular loss. The aim of study was to evaluate the effect of healthy strategies on parents' awareness regarding preventing and controlling complications of testicular torsion in their children. Design of the study: A quasi-experimental approach was utilized. Sample: A convenience sample of 100 parents and their children with testicular torsion was used. Setting: Pediatric urology departments and outpatient clinics of general hospitals in Port Said City as well as Al-Azhar Hospital University in Damietta City. Tools: Three tools were utilized in this study. Tool I: A Structured Interviewing Questionnaire Part A: Children's characteristics Part B: Parents' characteristics Part C: Parents' knowledge Tool II: Parents' reported practices. Tool III: Parents' attitude Results: There is a significant relationship between parents' age and educational level, knowledge, practice scores, and follow-up data on the phases of implementing healthy strategies. The majority of parents studied had a positive attitude towards preventing and controlling complications of testicular torsion. Conclusion: Post-implementation of the healthy strategies, there were improvements in parents' awareness regarding preventing and controlling complications of testicular torsion. Recommendation: It is recommended that the study should be repeated in additional organizations with a significant number of participants in order to generalize its findings and clinically confirm the effectiveness of the application of healthy strategies.
