Official title: Effectiveness of GEMPO E-Education (Holding, Bathing, and Diaper Changing) on Fathers' Self-Efficacy and Ability in Newborn Care
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of GEMPO (Holding, Bathing, and Diaper Changing) e-education on fathers' self-efficacy and ability to care for newborns. The study will involve fathers of newborns aged 0-28 days. Fathers in the intervention group will receive GEMPO e-education, while fathers in the control group will receive routine or standard health education. Self-efficacy and newborn care abilities will be measured before and after the intervention. The findings are expected to provide information on the role of electronic education in supporting fathers' involvement and skills in newborn care.
Read the detailed description
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of GEMPO (Holding, Bathing, and Diaper Changing) e-education on fathers' self-efficacy and ability in newborn care.
The study will use a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial design with a pretest-posttest control group. The study will be conducted in four community health centers in Pekanbaru, Riau, Indonesia: Puskesmas Rumbai, Puskesmas Rumbai Bukit, Puskesmas Umban Sari, and Puskesmas Karya Wanita.
The study population will consist of fathers who have newborns aged 0-28 days and meet the eligibility criteria. The health centers will be randomly allocated to the intervention or control group. Participants in the intervention group will receive GEMPO e-education covering holding, bathing, and diaper changing for newborns. Participants in the control group will receive routine or standard education provided by the health facilities without the GEMPO e-education video.
Fathers' self-efficacy and ability in newborn care will be assessed before and after the intervention. The study will compare changes in these outcomes within and between the intervention and control groups to evaluate the effectiveness of GEMPO e-education.
