Abstract

Background: Foreign body aspiration (FBA) in young children is a life-threatening event that can lead to death. Implementing educational programs for caregivers is one method to prevent FBA in children.

Objective: To assess caregivers’ knowledge by administering tests before and after watching a video about FBA in children.

Methods: A quasi experimental research enrolled parents or caregiver of children aged 6 months to 5 years who visited at well child clinic of the Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima hospital. Participants were requested to complete a 36-item test about FBA in children before and after watching the video media providing the knowledge of FBA in children. The scores before (pre-score) and after (post-score) watching the video, as well as the difference between pre-and post-scores (diff-score), were evaluated. Associated factors with the pre-score were identified.

Results: Fifty participants were included in this study. After watching the video media, the scores increased in 90% of participants. The mean post-score significantly improved compared to the pre-score (32.14 ± 2.19 and 25.86 ± 3.88, respectively; p <0.001). Multivariate regression analysis was conducted, revealing no statistically significant association between factors and the pre-score.

Conclusion: Utilizing an educational program on FBA in children through video media can enhance caregivers' knowledge.
