Based on the results of this study, it has
been found that:
There were no statistical significant differences
between study and control groups
on pre-test knowledge and practices regarding
Desferal Therapy but they were
statistical significant differences in post-test
knowledge and practices between both
groups after implementing the educational
program.. Mothers who were not exposed
to the educational programme did not show
any improvement in their knowledge and
practices regarding Desferal Therapy in
post-test.
