Effect of Educational Program on Mothers’ Awareness Regarding Care of Their Children with Congenital Hypothyroidism
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) one of the most common preventable causes of intellectual disability. Aim: To evaluate the effect of educational program on mothers' awareness regarding care of children with congenital hypothyroidism. Subject and Method: One group pre-posttest quasi experimental research design was used to achieve the aim of the current study. Setting: The study was conducted at the thyroid gland clinic of Al-Mabarrah Model clinic affiliated to Health Insurance Organization at Minia governorate. Sample: A purposive sample composed of 50 mothers having children with congenital hypothyroidism. Three tools: Tool I: Structured interview questionnaire sheet; consisted of three parts, Part 1: Bio-demographic characteristics of mothers. Part 2: Bio-demographic characteristics of the studied children. Part 3: Mothers' knowledge about congenital hypothyroidism. Tool II: Mothers' reported practices about congenital hypothyroidism. Tool III: Mothers' attitude regarding congenital hypothyroidism. The program had done over 3 months extending from the beginning of April to the end of June 2024. Results: It was found that all of mothers had satisfactory level of knowledge and attitude in post-program compared to one quarter pre-program. On the other hand; the minority of the studied mother had satisfactory level of self-reported practices pre-program compared to all of them post-program. Conclusion: Educational program contributes to improvement in mothers' awareness regarding care of children with congenital hypothyroidism evidenced by higher level of knowledge, reported practices and attitude of mothers in post-program compared to pre-program with statistically significant differences. Recommendations: Periodical educational training program for mothers at the hospital regarding care of their children with congenital hypothyroidism should be conducted

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
