It hooked up to the heart with tiny wires. Pacing in children is mainly performed in the cases of congenital or post-surgical complete heart block and less frequently in some surgical patients with sinus node dysfunction. The aim of this research: was to evaluate the effect of teaching instructions for mothers of children with permanent pacemaker on their knowledge and selected child's outcomes. Design: a pre-post-test quasi-experimental research design was utilized to achieve the aim of the current study. Sample: A convenient sample of 50 mothers of children under five years have implanted permanent pacemaker participated in the current study. Setting: the study was conducted at the arrhythmia out-patient clinic at the Preventive Medicine and Social Center, affiliated to Cairo University Hospitals. Data collection tools: were developed and collected by the researchers, it include Structured Interview Questionnaire to assess personal data for the child, mother and the family, Pre – Posttest to assess mother's knowledge about pacemaker and care for child having pacemaker, and child's outcomes assessment sheet to assess pacemaker complications and respiratory, cardiovascular efficiency. Results: the study results revealed that there were highly statistically significant difference between the means of three readings for selected child's outcomes (pacemaker complications, respiratory and cardiovascular efficiencies) and mothers’ knowledge before and after receiving the instructions. Recommendation: Multidisciplinary team should be involved in developing, implementing and evaluating educational sessions for mothers caring children with permanent pacemaker.
