Myopia is a significant health issue but it can be alleviated and prevented by several interventions. This study aimed to construct an intervention of acupressure and interactive multimedia for visual health and to evaluate the effect of its application on schoolchildren.
A pre-posttest experimental research design with a control group was used. The experimental group received a 15-week visual health intervention, whereas the control group received none.
70 children with visual impairment were recruited from 1 elementary school in Taipei, Taiwan.
The data of demographic factors, visual health knowledge, visual acuity, and refractive error were collected before and after the intervention.
After the intervention, the experimental group demonstrated improvements in visual health knowledge, visual acuity, and refractive error.
The outcomes of using the intervention seemed to be promising, but broader studies exploring its effects on children in different school years as well as its longitudinal effects are required.
近视是一个重要的健康问题，但可通过多种干预措施得到缓解和预防。本研究旨在构建一种用于视觉健康的指压与交互式多媒体干预措施，并评估其应用于学童的效果。
采用设有对照组的前后测实验研究设计。实验组接受为期15周的视觉健康干预，而对照组未接受任何干预。
从台湾台北市的1所小学招募了70名视力受损儿童。
在干预前后收集人口统计学因素、视觉健康知识、视力和屈光不正的数据。
干预后，实验组在视觉健康知识、视力和屈光不正方面均有改善。
使用该干预措施的结果似乎很有前景，但需要开展更广泛的研究，以探讨其对不同学年儿童的影响及其长期效果。
