The Effect of Animation Media "Newborn Jaundice" on the Knowledge of Nursing Care for Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia among Second-year Air Force Student Nurses, Academic year 2024

Abstract

     This research was conducted in a quasi-experimental research design with a pretest and posttest in two groups, aiming to compare the scores of knowledge about nursing of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia of Air Force Student Nurses between the experimental group that received animated media titled "Newborn Jaundice" and the control group that received standard teaching materials on neonatal jaundice nursing care. The sample group consisted of 60 second-year Air Force Student Nurses in the academic year 2024. was selected by a purposive sampling method. The samples were divided into an experimental group and a control group, each consisting of 30 individuals. Pairing was used to ensure equal characteristics in terms of gender, age, and cumulative GPA. The research instruments included teaching materials in animated media titled "Newborn Jaundice." Data were collected using a knowledge assessment from a nurse of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, resulting in an IOC value of 1.00 and KR-20 with a reliability coefficient of 0.80. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Inferential statistics were used to compare differences in knowledge scores on neonatal jaundice nursing care before and after the experiment using a paired t-test and between the experimental and control groups using an independent t-test.
     The results revealed that the experimental group significantly had a higher average score of knowledge about nursing of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia than before the experiment (p<.05), and the experimental group significantly had a higher average score of knowledge about nursing of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia than the control group (p<.05).
