Neonatal jaundice is a significant health issue commonly noticed in infants. Effective treatment requires the cooperation of mothers. This study aimed to promote mothers in caring for infants with jaundice undergoing phototherapy, enhancing their knowledge and enabling proper care practices, according to Bandura's self-efficacy theory. There were three phases of the research tool process. Phase 1 program development, consisting of four steps. Step 1 Review issues from practice. Step 2: Search for empirical evidence, yielding 18 studies. Step 3: Evaluate the quality of the research. Step 4: Develop the program by using the results of analysis and synthesis of research to create educational content for providing knowledge on jaundice. Phase 2: Program creation included: 1) Developing a set of six educational video clips on jaundice knowledge, each clip approximately three minutes long. 2) Creating content for an infographic guide on jaundice knowledge 3) developing a program satisfaction questionnaire. Phase 3: Evaluate the feasibility of implementing the program.
The tool was quality assessed by five experts and tested on a specifically selected sample group of 10 mothers and their infants diagnosed with jaundice, receiving phototherapy at a tertiary hospital in the northeastern region. The research method involved having mothers watch a video clip providing knowledge on jaundice via TikTok about jaundice and studying five-images jaundice knowledge infographic guide for approximately 2 hours. Subsequently, mothers were inquired to complete a program satisfaction questionnaire and provide feedback on the video clips. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
The study found that: 1) The program's quality assessment achieved an Item-Objective Congruence (IOC) of 0.98 and a Content Validity Index (CVI) of 0.97. 2) Overall satisfaction across four areas was at the highest level: Concise and comprehensive content (=4.9, SD=0.31), Language use and communication (
=4.7, SD=0.48), Narration and soundtrack (ðĨĖ
=4.8, SD=0.42), and Duration (
=5.00, SD=0.00). The program's outcomes initiated a research process to evaluate the effectiveness of the program to promote mothers' knowledge in caring for infants with jaundice who received phototherapy.
