Abstract

Health education related to cervical cancer is essential for community empowerment, with community health cadres playing a pivotal role in delivering health education at the grassroots level. The use of appropriate educational media has been shown to effectively enhance community knowledge. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of educational modules and videos in improving cadres’ knowledge and skills in delivering health education on cervical cancer prevention. This quasi-experimental study employed a one-group pretest–posttest design involving 25 community health cadres. The intervention comprised two 90-minute cadre training sessions. The first session included a lecture followed by a question-and-answer discussion, while the second session involved a health education demonstration. Educational videos and modules were used as instructional media. Knowledge data were collected using a structured questionnaire, whereas skills data were assessed using a standardized observation checklist. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank. The results showed that knowledge score increased from 48.00 (pretest) to 94.00 (posttest), with a mean difference of 46.00 (p < 0.05). Similarly, the mean skills score improved from 37.20 (pretest) to 87.20 (posttest), with a mean difference of 50.00 (p < 0.05). Educational modules and videos are effective media for enhancing the knowledge and skills of community health cadres in providing health education on cervical cancer prevention. Their use should be integrated into training programs to strengthen cervical cancer prevention efforts at the community level.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health issue in Indonesia, with multifactorial causes. Grandmothers play a central role in childcare and decision-making within families. Effective educational media are needed to improve knowledge and caregiving practices in family settings. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of educational modules and videos in improving grandmothers’ knowledge and skills in providing health education for stunting prevention. A one-group pretest–posttest quasi-experimental design was conducted among 25 grandmothers who lived with or near their grandchildren. The educational media (module and video) were first validated by experts. The materials included comprehensive information on the definition, causes, signs, symptoms, impacts, and prevention of stunting, as well as methods and techniques for delivering effective health education. Data were collected using knowledge and skill assessment tools, and analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test due to non-normal data distribution. The results showed that mean knowledge score of grandmothers significantly increased from 69.6 (pretest) to 94.4 (posttest), with a mean difference of 24.8, Z-score = -4.391, p-value = 0.000 (p < 0.001). Similarly, the mean skill score in delivering health education improved from 50.20 (pretest) to 84.80 (posttest), with a mean difference of 34.6, Z-score = -4.298, p value = 0.000 (p < 0.001). Educational modules and videos are effective in improving grandmothers’ knowledge and skills in providing health education for stunting prevention. Integrating family-centered educational tools into community health programs may strengthen family support and contribute to reducing stunting prevalence.
