The gap between the knowledge and self-efficacy of healthcare providers and their actual function in doing vaccination calls for the implementation of a program that can empower them. Thus, the present study was conducted to determine the effect of mobile learning educational intervention on the knowledge and self-efficacy of healthcare providers in conducting vaccination.
This field trial study was conducted in 2022 on 100 healthcare providers working in comprehensive health centers in Khomeini Shahr City, Isfahan Province, Iran. The samples were randomly selected and divided into two groups intervention and control. The intervention group received vaccination training through two in-person sessions and utilized a smartphone application, which included videos, photos, and text-based content, for one month. Before and one month after the intervention, the participants completed the researcher-made questionnaires to measure their vaccination-related knowledge and self-efficacy. The validity and reliability of the tools were assessed and confirmed. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 23 as well as -test, independent -test, and Chi-square.
Based on the results of the paired -test, in the intervention group there was a statistically significant difference between the mean score of knowledge and self-efficacy of conducting vaccination before and after the intervention ( < 0.0001; = 0.004). However, in the control group, the difference was not statistically significant ( = 0.057; = 0.642).
Given the importance of vaccination in children's health, it can be concluded that education based on mobile learning is an effective approach to increasing the knowledge and self-efficacy of healthcare providers in conducting vaccinations. In the context of public health services, such as vaccination, the utilization of mobile-based training is recommended as a means to empower healthcare providers.
医疗保健提供者在疫苗接种知识和自我效能感与他们实际进行疫苗接种工作之间存在差距,这就需要实施一个能够增强他们能力的项目。因此,开展了本研究以确定移动学习教育干预对医疗保健提供者进行疫苗接种的知识和自我效能感的影响。
这项现场试验研究于2022年在伊朗伊斯法罕省霍梅尼沙尔市综合健康中心工作的100名医疗保健提供者中进行。样本被随机选取并分为干预组和对照组。干预组通过两次面对面培训课程接受疫苗接种培训,并使用一个智能手机应用程序一个月,该应用程序包含视频、照片和基于文本的内容。在干预前和干预后一个月,参与者完成了研究人员制作的问卷,以测量他们与疫苗接种相关的知识和自我效能感。对工具的有效性和可靠性进行了评估和确认。使用SPSS 23版以及配对t检验、独立t检验和卡方检验对数据进行分析。
基于配对t检验的结果,在干预组中,干预前后进行疫苗接种的知识和自我效能感平均得分之间存在统计学显著差异(P<0.0001;t = 0.004)。然而,在对照组中,差异无统计学意义(P = 0.057;t = 0.642)。
鉴于疫苗接种对儿童健康的重要性,可以得出结论,基于移动学习的教育是提高医疗保健提供者进行疫苗接种的知识和自我效能感的有效方法。在诸如疫苗接种等公共卫生服务背景下,建议利用基于移动设备的培训作为增强医疗保健提供者能力的一种手段。
