Abstract

Dehydration is the main cause of death in under-five children with diarrhea. Mothers have an important role in preventing dehydration in under-five children with diarrhea. Mothers’ knowledge about preventing dehydration of diarrhea is very much needed. The aim of this research was to determine the effectiveness of audiovisual media on mothers’ knowledge about preventing dehydration in under-five children with diarrhea. This research is a quasi-experimental design, one group pretest posttest without a control group. The sample was 85 respondents from mothers who had children under 5 years old at Posyandu Budi Lestari 1 Sidokerto Pati. Mother’s knowledge was measured using a questionnaire regarding preventing dehydration in under-five children with diarrhea. The intervention provided is in the form of providing health education through audiovisual media. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon non-parametric test. The research results showed that before the intervention, the average level of knowledge was 7.40 ± 1.093 and after the intervention the average level of knowledge was 12.67 ± 0.662. The results of the analysis show that there is an influence of audiovisual media on mothers’ knowledge about preventing dehydration in under-five children with diarrhea (p value < 0.05). Health education for mothers is expected to be provided periodically to increase knowledge and enable mothers to care for children under five years old.
