Descripción detallada
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an animation video-supported education program on preventive measures against acute respiratory tract infections among first-grade primary school children.
The study was conducted as a cluster randomized controlled trial in a public primary school in Istanbul, Türkiye.
Two first-grade classrooms were selected and randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups.
The intervention group received an animation video-supported education program on preventive measures against acute respiratory tract infections, while the control group received no education during the data collection period.
Outcomes were assessed at baseline and two weeks after completion of the intervention.
The primary outcomes included children's knowledge scores regarding preventive measures against respiratory tract infections, coughing/sneezing hygiene skill scores, and hand hygiene skill scores.

Change in Knowledge Score on Preventive Measures Against Respiratory Tract Infections
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline and two weeks after completion of the intervention
|
Children's knowledge regarding preventive measures against respiratory tract infections was assessed using the Knowledge Form on Preventive Measures Against Respiratory Tract Infections.
The form consists of 7 items.
Each correct answer is scored as 1 point and each incorrect answer is scored as 0 points.
Total scores range from 0 to 7, with higher scores indicating a higher level of knowledge.

Change in Coughing/Sneezing Hygiene Skill Score
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline and two weeks after completion of the intervention
|
Children's coughing/sneezing hygiene skills were assessed using the Coughing/Sneezing Skill Checklist developed by the researchers.
The checklist evaluates appropriate protective behaviors during coughing or sneezing.
Items are scored as "performed" = 2 points, "partially performed" = 1 point, and "not performed" = 0 points.
Higher scores indicate better coughing/sneezing hygiene skills.
Skill performances were video-recorded and evaluated by two independent experts.

Change in Hand Hygiene Skill Score
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline and two weeks after completion of the intervention
|
Children's hand hygiene skills were assessed using the Hand Hygiene Skill Checklist developed by the researchers.
The checklist consists of 12 items.
Each item is scored as "performed" = 2 points, "partially performed" = 1 point, and "not performed" = 0 points.
Higher scores indicate better hand hygiene skills.
Children demonstrated handwashing behavior using a standardized handwashing station, and performances were video-recorded and evaluated by two independent experts.
