Abstract

Background: Bell's palsy is a frequent cranial neuropathy that results in idiopathic, unilateral, or bilateral facial nerve paralysis and acute, lower motor neuron–only facial paralysis on one side of the face. A significant factor in ensuring continuity of care is tele-nursing. Aim: To determine the effect of tele-nursing instructions on mothers' knowledge and practices regarding their children with Bell's Palsy during covid -19 lockdown. Design: A quasi-experimental research design was used to conduct this study. Setting: The study was conducted at the physical therapy department of Sohag University Hospital. Subject: A convenience sample of all 100 Bell's palsy-affected mothers and their available children. Tools: Two tools were used for data collection, Tool1: A structured interview questionnaire: Included three parts; characteristics of mothers, characteristics of their children, mothers’ knowledge about Bell's palsy (pre, post, and follow-up) phases of tele-nursing instructions implementation. Tool 2: An observational checklist (pre/post and follow-up tests) to evaluate mothers' practices concerning their children with Bell's palsy. Results: Mothers' practices and knowledge before, immediately after, and during the follow-up phases of the application of tele-nursing instructions showed highly statistically significant differences (P<0.0001).
