Summary
Congenital heart disease (CHD) causes the longest stay in hospital and the highest rate of death[1]. After the birth of a child with CHD, parents are faced with multiple psychological problems due to their children having special requirements, such as necessity of home care[3,4]. Nousi D, et al[7] showed that family members are affected by the care of the child who has CHD, especially the mother who feels an inadequate strength in herself as she considers herself responsible for her child's birth. One of the problems related to the family of children having chronic diseases is their low selfefficacy. The parents of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are faced with multiple needs such as home care of children and medicinal care after the child is discharged from hospital
