Effect of Education Using Animation on the Ability to Develop Personal Skills for Early Stroke Detection and Initial Treatment at Home

Abstract

Background: The success of stroke treatment depends on the speed and accuracy of early detection and prompt transportation to health facilities. However, many people have not received information on how to detect and treat the condition at home. 

Objective: The aim is to determine the effect of education using animation on the ability to develop personal skills for early stroke detection and initial treatment at home in Kupang City.

Methodology: The research method used a quasi-experimental design with a quota sampling technique, involving two groups: intervention and control. The intervention group received education through animated videos, while the control group did not. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire to identify the knowledge and skills of early stroke detection. Data were analysed using the chi-square test and logistic regression.

Results: The results of the logistic regression test obtained a knowledge value of 0.222> 0.05 (alpha) so that there was no effect of education using animation on knowledge for early detection of stroke attacks and initial handling at home, but on the skill variable obtained a significance value of 0.001 <0.05 (alpha) so that there was an effect of education using animation on the ability to develop personal skills on skills for early detection of stroke attacks and initial handling at home.  The model summary obtained a Nagelkerke R Square value of 0.360, which means that the intervention contributed 36% to improving skills, while different variables contributed 64%. Variables in the Equation obtained an Exp(B) value of 14.7, meaning respondents who receive the intervention are 14.7 times more likely to experience skill improvement.

Conclusion: This study's findings illustrate the use of animated media in health education programmes according to the community's needs.

Unique Contribution: This study introduces animated videos as an innovative educational medium to improve stroke early detection skills. The results provide further exploration opportunities for the long-term impact of animation-based education, especially in terms of the sustainability of stroke detection and early response skills at the community level.

Key recommendation: Educational animated videos must be integrated into community health promotion programmes, adapting to the local cultural context. Further research is needed on audiovisual media integration and community-based approaches to improving personal skills for the early detection of stroke.
