Summary
Written by AI, not yet AICS's view · claude-haiku-4-5-20251001This study tested whether video education about nurturing care could improve mothers' knowledge and attitudes about parenting toddlers aged 0-3 years in Indonesia. Researchers compared 40 mothers who received video education with 49 mothers who received leaflet education, measuring their knowledge and attitudes before and after the intervention. Both video and leaflet education similarly improved mothers' parenting knowledge, though video showed a slightly larger increase. The study found that health education in general was the main driver of improved knowledge, but neither approach had a clear effect on mothers' attitudes towards parenting.
Key points
- Both video and leaflet-based health education similarly improved maternal knowledge about nurturing care for children aged 0-3 years
- The intervention group receiving video education showed slightly greater improvement than the control group receiving leaflets
- No statistically significant differences were found between video and leaflet education (p>0.05)
- Health education as a general approach was the primary driver of improved knowledge levels
- Neither intervention showed a noticeable impact on mothers' attitudes towards parenting young children
Limitations
The study does not specify the duration of follow-up or whether knowledge and attitude gains persisted over time. The document does not clarify what specific content was included in either the video or leaflet, making it difficult to understand what aspects of nurturing care were addressed.
Abstract
Introduction: Children under five in low- and middle-income countries are at risk for negative developmental outcomes. Prioritizing brain development during this crucial early phase is vital. Innovations, like video-based interventions, hold promise for enhancing nurturing care practices. Objective: This study aim was to determine the effect of video nurturing care education on mother’s knowledge and attitudes in parenting children aged 0-3 years. Materials and methods: A non-equivalent quasi-experimental design involving pre-test and post-test control groups was utilized. Data analysis involved 40 participants in the intervention group and 49 participants in the control group. The study employed a nurturing care questionnaire to assess knowledge and attitudes. Descriptive statistics, paired Wilcoxon tests, independent t-tests, and Spearman rank tests were applied. A significance level of p<0.05 was set. Results: Maternal understanding and viewpoints were assessed by contrasting pre- and post-intervention scores in both groups. A p-value >0.05 indicates no notable differences between video and leaflet education. Both approaches similarly enhance parenting knowledge and attitudes, with a slightly greater rise observed in the intervention group. Conclusion: Health education emerged as the primary driver of improved knowledge levels. This study highlighted a significant divergence, demonstrating the varying effects of video education on knowledge enhancement compared to the absence of a noticeable impact from health education on mothers' attitudes towards parenting children aged 0-3 years.
