Parents whose children are in intensive care have to cope with many stressors in terms of psychological, physical, economic and social aspects. Especially during the discharge process, many reasons such as the fact that their children have a chronic disease, need for care, parents do not know how to provide the care their children need, the lack of professional health care teams provided by home care in our country, and therefore the care of the children is covered by the families, increase the anxiety levels of the parents. It increases the frequency of hospitalization of children or prolongs the length of stay in the intensive care unit, as appropriate care cannot be provided. In addition, frequent hospitalizations can cause damage to family dynamics. It has been determined that as the child grows, the difficulties experienced in the care of the child, the financial difficulties increase, the worries about the future and the constant relationship with the experts increase the stress of the parents and the stress is in parallel with the level of hopelessness. This is the factor that reinforces the anxiety and hopelessness in the daily life of parents. The fact that mothers whose children are in intensive care do not know the materials used, the procedures performed, the steps of the procedure, and what situations they will encounter at home may increase their stress-anxiety and hopelessness levels. Today, with the rapid development of technology, the use of educational technologies on the basis of learning and teaching has become widespread in health care education in the field of health, as in every field. It is important to address more than one sense organ in order for the education in the field of health to be more effective. Therefore, it is important to reduce the anxiety and hopelessness levels of the parents, to increase the self-confidence of the parents, to see general (physiological and psychological) improvements in children, and to reduce health costs with the training given to mothers with different education methods. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of aspiration training given by different methods on the level of anxiety and hopelessness of mothers whose children are in intensive care.
