To investigate parent's knowledge and beliefs of common infections and antibiotics in children before and after an educational intervention provided by maternal and child health nurses. Second, to investigate sociodemographic differences in parent's knowledge before and following the intervention.
A prospective pre-post intervention study. The intervention consisted of a booklet with information about childhood infections delivered by maternal and child health nurses.
The study population included 344 parents with a child born during 2017 and residing in three Danish municipalities. Knowledge about infections and antibiotics were collected quantitatively through an online questionnaire before and after the intervention (August 2017-November 2018) and analysed using linear mixed models.
Parental knowledge increased after the intervention. Parents with lower education and born in Denmark compared to parents with higher education and born in other countries experienced a higher increase in knowledge from baseline to follow-up.
在母婴健康护士提供教育干预前后,调查父母对儿童常见感染和抗生素的知识和信念。其次,调查父母在干预前后的知识的社会人口学差异。
前瞻性干预前后研究。干预措施包括由母婴健康护士提供的有关儿童感染的小册子。
研究人群包括 344 名 2017 年出生并居住在丹麦三个市的儿童父母。通过在线问卷在干预前后(2017 年 8 月至 2018 年 11 月)定量收集关于感染和抗生素的知识,并使用线性混合模型进行分析。
干预后父母的知识有所提高。与受过高等教育且出生在其他国家的父母相比,受教育程度较低且出生在丹麦的父母从基线到随访的知识增长更高。
