Abstract
PINO ARMIJO, Paola et al. Educational program for congenital cardiopathy children's parents. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2014, vol.112, n.5, pp.451-456. ISSN 0325-0075. http://dx.doi.org/10.5546/aap.2014.451.
The children with congenital heart disease are faced with a series of procedures in chronological sequence. Throughout this process the infant and their parents require timely information, education and preparation for discharge. However, the information about each of the aspects affected by the disease is usually addressed in isolation by different professionals and not as part of a comprehensive educational program. The educational program should consider the nature of the disease, of the users and educators during their planning and must be implemented by a multidisciplinary team, continuously during hospitalization and follow-up, using various teaching methods available, and incorporating the minimum content described in the literature. The objective of this review is to identify the dimensions and key elements to consider in the design of an educational program for parents of children with congenital heart disease based on the model of Kaufman.
