Detaljert beskrivelse
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.

Eksperimentell: Animation Video-Supported Education Group
Participants in the intervention group received an animation video-supported education program on preventive measures against acute respiratory tract infections.
The program was delivered in a classroom setting over three weeks, in three sessions, with a total duration of 120 minutes.
The content included respiratory infection transmission, actions to be taken during illness, hand hygiene, coughing/sneezing etiquette, avoidance of touching the face, social distancing, and healthy lifestyle recommendations.

The intervention consisted of an animation video-supported education program developed for first-grade primary school children.
The program included a 15-minute animation video, question-and-answer activities, demonstration and practice of coughing/sneezing etiquette, and demonstration and practice of hand hygiene using a handwashing station.
The education was delivered in three sessions over three weeks, with a total duration of 120 minutes.

Change in Knowledge Score on Preventive Measures Against Respiratory Tract Infections
Tidsramme: 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
Tidsramme: 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
Tidsramme: 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.
