This research and development study aimed to: 1) study the self-care behaviors of school-aged children with thalassemia, 2) develop an educational video titled “Let's Get to Know Thalassemia”, and 3) study the effects of the video on school-age children with Thalassemia. All 60 children (control group=30, experimental group=30) were treated at pediatric ward 1 of Udonthani hospital. The study consisted of 3 steps. Step 1 was the analysis of self-care behaviors of school-aged children with thalassemia. Step 2 was the development of the video "Let's get to know Thalassemia" to educate about and then experimented with children. And step 3 was to study the effectiveness of video media to educate about Thalassemia. The research tools were a self-care knowledge test for school-age children with thalassemia. It had a consistency index between 0.67-1.00 and difficulty was 0.68. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann–Whitney U test. The results showed the following.
1. Inappropriate self-care behaviors of school-aged children with thalassemia were about eating habits. Most children had self-care knowledge at a moderate level (M=15.90, SD=3.36).
2. The satisfaction towards using the video media rated by the school-aged children with thalassemia, nursing staff, and parents were at the highest level (M=4.53, SD=0.57), a high level (M=4.25, SD=0.16), a high level (M=4.27, SD=0.55), respectively. The median knowledge score of the children was significantly higher after watching the video than before (Z=-4.47, p<0.01).
3. The results from the evaluation of the effectiveness of video media showed that the median knowledge score of the experimental group after the experiment was significantly higher than before they entered the experiment at .01 (Z=-94, p<0.01). And after the experiment, the median knowledge score of the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group at .01 (Z=-5.17, p<0.01).
In conclusion, the educational video “Let's Get to Know Thalassemia” was effective in educating and promoting self-care for school-aged children with thalassemia.
