Background: Epistaxis is acute bleeding from the nasal cavity or nasopharynx. A nosebleed is a relatively common and usually self-limited occurrence in childhood. However, profuse or recurrent epistaxis can be extremely distressing to children and parents. Aim of study: Was to evaluate effect of educational guidelines on mothers’ performance regarding care of children with epistaxis. Research design: A quasi-experimental design was utilized in the current study. Settings: This study was conducted at both inpatient department and outpatient Ear, Nose and Throat clinic at Benha University Hospital. Subjects: A purposive sample of 70 mothers and their children who were suffering from epistaxis were included. Tools of data collection: Three tools were used: I. A structured interview questionnaire sheet consisted of 3 parts, part one: Mothers characteristics, part two: Children characteristics and part three: Mother’s knowledge towards epistaxis. II. Mother’s attitude towards epistaxis and III. Mother’s reported practice regarding epistaxis. Results: There was a highly statistical significance difference observed between total level of knowledge, attitude and reported practice of the studied mothers regarding epistaxis in pre compared to in post educational guidelines implementation. Conclusion: The educational guidelines were effective in improving mothers’ knowledge, attitude and practice regarding care of children with epistaxis post educational guidelines implementation as compared to pre- educational guidelines implementation. Recommendation: Further studies should be applied on all health problems related with epistaxis as hemorrhagic disorders, vitamins deficiency and chronic diseases and future researches should be replicated on a large sample of mothers in different setting which are needed for generalization of the obtained results.
