The impact of video-based education on caregivers’ knowledge and injection skills in managing anaphylaxis in children
Abstract
Anaphylaxis in children is a medical emergency that requires prompt administration of intramuscular epinephrine. As pediatric patients rely on caregivers for timely intervention, inadequate knowledge and skills among caregivers can result in severe complications or fatal outcomes. Video-based education is a promising tool to enhance caregiver competence in managing such emergencies.
Objective: To assess the impact of video-based education on caregivers’ knowledge and injection skills in managing anaphylaxis in children.
Methods: A quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest study was conducted with 30 caregivers of children diagnosed with anaphylaxis who attended the Pediatric Outpatient Clinic at Chiang Rai Prachanukroh Hospital. The intervention included an educational video on anaphylaxis and the administration of epinephrine. Data collected from the study were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 22. The general data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and the effects of video-based education on caregivers’ knowledge and injection skills in managing pediatric anaphylaxis were compared using dependent t-test. Results: After the intervention, caregivers showed a statistically significant improvement in knowledge (mean score: 9.30 ± 0.83 vs 5.76 ± 1.10) and injection skills (mean score: 3.80 ± 0.48 vs 2.26 ± 1.04), (p < .001).
