Family caregivers play a crucial role in the care of children with HIV; however, they frequently face limitations in knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Mobile application (app)-based training may offer an effective solution to enhance caregiver competence. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of mobile app-based care management training in improving the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of family caregivers caring for children with HIV.
A quasi-experimental design, including pretest, posttest, and follow-up assessments, was conducted at a national referral hospital for infectious diseases in Jakarta, Indonesia. The study involved 44 respondents, divided equally into intervention and control groups (22 per group). The intervention group received mobile app-based training, while the control group received conventional caregiver education. Questionnaires assessing caregivers' knowledge, attitudes, and skills in managing children with HIV were utilized. Data were analyzed using Independent Sample T-tests and Repeated Measures ANOVA.
Repeated Measures ANOVA revealed that the intervention group experienced significant improvements in knowledge, attitudes, and skills from pretest to posttest, which were maintained at the 1-month follow-up (p<0.001). In contrast, the control group did not exhibit significant changes in any of these variables (knowledge, attitudes, and skills) throughout the study period (p>0.05).
Mobile app-based care management training significantly enhances caregiving competencies among family caregivers of children with HIV. These findings underscore the potential of digital technology as an innovative and sustainable approach for caregiver training in various healthcare settings, supporting the long-term effectiveness of educational interventions.
家庭照顾者在艾滋病毒感染儿童的护理中发挥着关键作用；然而，他们在知识、态度和技能方面常常面临局限。基于移动应用程序（app）的培训可能是提高照顾者能力的有效解决方案。本研究旨在评估基于移动应用程序的护理管理培训在提高艾滋病毒感染儿童家庭照顾者的知识、态度和技能方面的有效性。
在印度尼西亚雅加达的一家国家传染病转诊医院进行了一项准实验设计，包括预测试、后测试和随访评估。该研究涉及44名受访者，平均分为干预组和对照组（每组22人）。干预组接受基于移动应用程序的培训，而对照组接受传统的照顾者教育。使用问卷评估照顾者在管理艾滋病毒感染儿童方面的知识、态度和技能。数据采用独立样本t检验和重复测量方差分析进行分析。
重复测量方差分析显示，干预组从预测试到后测试在知识、态度和技能方面有显著改善，并在1个月随访时保持（p<0.001）。相比之下，对照组在整个研究期间这些变量（知识、态度和技能）均未出现显著变化（p>0.05）。
基于移动应用程序的护理管理培训显著提高了艾滋病毒感染儿童家庭照顾者的护理能力。这些发现强调了数字技术作为一种创新且可持续的方法在各种医疗环境中进行照顾者培训的潜力，支持教育干预的长期有效性。
