The School-Age Children With Cystic Fibrosis and Their Parents on Health Literacy

This randomized controlled experimental study is planned to examine the effect of an online education program provided to school-age children aged 6-11 years diagnosed with cystic fibrosis and their parents on health literacy levels. The study population will consist of 123 school-age children with cystic fibrosis and their parents who are followed at the Cystic Fibrosis Outpatient Clinic of Marmara University Pendik Training and Research Hospital. The study sample will include 104 children and their parents, who will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n = 52) or the control group (n = 52). Data will be collected using the Introductory Information Form, the Health Literacy Scale for School-Age Children, and the Turkey Health Literacy Scale-32. Following the pre-test assessments, an online education program developed by the researcher will be delivered to the intervention group. The control group will not receive any additional intervention. Both groups will complete post-test assessments four weeks after the pre-test.
