详细描述
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.
