Abstract

Emergency medical responders (EMRs) are at risk of acquiring respiratory tract infections during their work. The development of a video media on prevention of emerging respiratory infection for EMRs aimed to develop and assess the efficiency of the video. The samples were 47 EMRs who worked in 5 districts in Chiang Mai province. The research instruments consisted of a video media storyboard on prevention of emerging respiratory infection for EMRs, a knowledge test on prevention of respiratory infection, and a questionnaire on the satisfaction towards the video. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-test. The developed video media consisted of three sections. The duration was 29 minutes and 46 seconds. The first section was on prevention of emerging respiratory infection before work; the second and the third section

were on prevention of infection during and after work, respectively. The efficiency of the video media, E1/E2, was calculated to be 80.09/85.91 which achieved the proposed criteria. The mean score knowledge of the samples after watching the video media was significantly higher than that before watching the VDO (p<0.0001). The samples were highly satisfied with the whole VDO media, the content, the design and presentation, suitability, knowledge and benefit obtained from the developed video media. The results of this study revealed that the developed video media can be used for educating EMRs so that they can correctly perform the prevention of emerging respiratory infection.
