The aim of this study was to determine the effect of mobile-based education on mothers' knowledge and decisions about prevention of foreign body (FBA) aspiration and to relieve choking in preschool children.
This is a quasi-experimental study in which 88 mothers whose children were registered in each selected kindergarten of the city of Rasht (in Iran) were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling. All mothers were educated through lectures. Then, in the control group, an educational booklet and CDs were used, and in the intervention group, a mobile application was used. Mothers' knowledge and decision were measured by a researcher-made questionnaire before and after the lecture and four weeks after providing the interventions. Mann-Whitney, Wilcoxon, and Friedman tests were used to analyze the data. The level of significance was p < 0.05.
The results showed that the mean scores of knowledge (n = 44, M = 13.47, SD = 1.84) and decision (n = 44, M = 8.52, SD = 1.30) of participants immediately and mean scores of knowledge (n = 44, M = 14.68, SD = 1.98) and decision of participants (n = 44, M = 9.56, SD = 2.15) four weeks after the educational interventions, in the intervention group, were statistically significantly higher than the control group. Intragroup comparison of the mean scores of knowledge and decision immediately and four weeks after educational interventions, showed that only in the intervention group did the mean scores have statistically significant increase, (p < 0.05).
Mobile-based education was more effective in improving mothers' knowledge and decision about prevention of foreign body aspiration and to relieve choking in children than other educational methods.
Mobile applications may be a new and effective method for providing education to parents.
本研究旨在确定基于移动设备的教育对母亲预防儿童异物（FBA）吸入和缓解窒息的知识和决策的影响。
这是一项准实验研究，其中 88 名儿童在该市拉什特（伊朗）的每个选定幼儿园注册的母亲通过多阶段聚类抽样选择。所有母亲都通过讲座接受教育。然后，在对照组中使用教育手册和 CD，在干预组中使用移动应用程序。在讲座前后以及提供干预措施四周后，使用研究者自制的问卷测量母亲的知识和决策。使用 Mann-Whitney、Wilcoxon 和 Friedman 检验分析数据。显著性水平为 p < 0.05。
结果表明，参与者的知识得分（n = 44，M = 13.47，SD = 1.84）和决策得分（n = 44，M = 8.52，SD = 1.30）立即以及参与者的知识得分（n = 44，M = 14.68，SD = 1.98）和决策得分（n = 44，M = 9.56，SD = 2.15）在干预组四周后均统计学显著高于对照组。知识和决策得分的组内比较立即和教育干预后四周，仅在干预组中，平均分数有统计学显著增加，（p < 0.05）。
与其他教育方法相比，基于移动设备的教育在提高母亲预防儿童异物吸入和缓解窒息的知识和决策方面更有效。
移动应用程序可能是为家长提供教育的一种新的有效方法。
