Efficacy of Modified Betty Neuman Nursing Theory to Develop Evidence-Based Pandemic Care Pathway for Preadolescents in the School

Abstract

Background: A study on the effect of COVID-19 on children shows that once we pay special attention to the psychological aspect of youngsters, the worst effect occurs, although less sensitive to COVID-19. There’s also evidence that nursing care supported by Betty Newman's model helps prevent 94% of patients with psychiatric cases within the medical care unit. A study that supported the appliance of the Betty Newman Systems model within the nursing care of patients with Covid-19 showed that it helps resolve the nursing problems of a patient affected by Covid-19. Supported by the above study, it's planned to develop a particular epidemic care pathway for preadolescents using the revised Betty Newman's nursing theory. Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of modified Betty Newman’s Nursing Theory to develop an evidence-based pandemic care pathway for preadolescents between the experimental and control groups and associate the post-test score of preadolescents with their demographic variables. Methodology: Preadolescent students will be recruited for the Superiority trial. the standard and modified Betty Newman theory will be applied to the control and experimental group. The pre and posttest of both groups will be evaluated for their effectiveness. Expected Outcomes: The newly developed pandemic care approach will effectively reduce the psychological impact of pandemics in Preadolescent children. Conclusions: Generation of pandemic care pathway for preadolescents and Reduction of the psychological impact of the pandemic among preadolescents.
