Abstract
This quasi-experimental research was a comparative group, pretest, and posttest design. The objective was to examine the effect of health promotion program using the LINE smart phone application on allergic rhinitis exacerbation prevention behaviors in caregivers of school-age children with allergic rhinitis aged 6 - 12 who received services at the Allergy Clinic of King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Thai Red Cross Society. The study involved 60 participants, divided into two groups of 30 caregivers each. The experimental group received the health promotion program using the LINE smart phone application, designed based on Pender's model, while the control group received routine nursing care. The study was conducted using questionnaires to assess perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and self-efficacy regarding behaviors. The prevention behaviors of allergic rhinitis symptom exacerbation was evaluated using a specific behavior questionnaire. All instruments demonstrated acceptable content validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-tests.
The research findings indicated that caregivers of children with allergic rhinitis who received the health promotion program using the LINE smart phone application exhibited significantly higher allergic rhinitis exacerbation prevention behaviors compared to before receiving the program (t = 7.68, p < .05). Additionally, it was found that caregivers in the experimental group showed significantly higher allergic rhinitis exacerbation prevention behaviors than those who received routine nursing care (t = -4.25, p < .05).
