Experimental: 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.

Descrição da medida |
Prazo |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in Knowledge Score on Preventive Measures Against Respiratory Tract Infections
Prazo: 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
Prazo: 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
Prazo: 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.
