Family Empowerment Psychoeducation on Family Support Caring of Children Diarrhea


BACKGROUND: Families with family members experiencing illness are traumatic experiences. Family empowerment through psychoeducation is one of the interventions to caring for families with children under 5 who experience diarrhea. This intervention can provide educational information to families regarding problems caring for children under 5 with diarrhea, management of diarrhea under 5 years of age, and family support in caring for children under 5 with diarrhea. The preliminary study showed that nurses and health workers did not provide psychoeducation to families.


AIM: This study aims to know the effect of the family empowerment psychoeducation on family support in caring for children diarrhea at the primary health center.


METHODOLOGY: This study is a quasi-experiment research with pre- and post-test control group design. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using pair t-test, Wilcoxon independent t-test, and Mann–Whitney with a significant level of p < 0.05.


RESULTS: Before being given family empowerment through psychoeducation, family support was mainly in the good category as many as 34 respondents (73.9%), and after the intervention, the good category increased to 95.7%. In the intervention group, there is different family support in caring for children under 5 with diarrhea pre-test and post-test after being given family empowerment through psychoeducation with p (sig) < 0.05. There are no differences in family support between the intervention and control groups after family empowerment psychoeducation.
