Brief Summary:
Pregnant women are among the groups most affected by the negative health effects of climate change, such as low birth weight, preterm birth, premature rupture of membranes, stillbirth, gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension and preeclampsia, spontaneous abortion, malnutrition, respiratory illness and stress, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder. It can lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes, including psychological problems. Climate change education enables pregnant women to make informed decisions by raising their awareness and helps improve their ability to adapt to the negative effects of climate change. Health education for individuals and pregnant women uses methods such as demonstration, role-playing, screening, expression, question-answering, problem-solving, and short animated films. Short animated films, which are visual and auditory media and are an interesting method of health education, ensure that the information conveyed is stored in long-term memory. No studies were found in Turkey to determine pregnant women's awareness and hope regarding climate change or to increase their awareness and knowledge through education and short animated films. The creation of an original short animated film and its support through education show the difference of this study from other studies. Therefore, this study was planned based on the assumption that climate change education and short animated film would increase the awareness and hope of pregnant women. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of climate change education and short animated film on pregnant women's awareness and hope. This study was designed as a randomized controlled trial.
Detailed Description:
The population of the study is all pregnant women in the second and third trimesters who present to the antenatal clinic of Konya City Hospital. The sample of the study consists of pregnant women who meet the criteria for inclusion in the study and agree to participate in the study after being informed about the study. G-Power 3.1.9.7, based on the Hope Scale for the Prevention of Climate Change score average (56.14±9.75), of which the study sample size is known. The program calculated the 3-unit difference by choosing a power of 0.85, an effect size of 0.30, an alpha level of 0.05, and a two-sided hypothesis option, and aimed to reach a total of 262 participants, 131 in the intervention group and 131 in the control group. Considering the data loss, it was planned to conduct the study with 276 pregnant women, which is 5% more than the set sample number. Research data: collected on a self-report basis using the "Informed Consent Form"," the "Personal Information Form"," the "Pregnant Awareness Scale for the Effects of Climate Change on Maternal Fetal Health," and the "Climate Change Hope Scale"." Pre-tests with questionnaires will be conducted at the first interview with the pregnant women who were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups. An educational brochure on climate change will be given to the pregnant women in the intervention group, and a presentation will be given by the researcher. Two weeks after the training, a short animated film will be viewed via WhatsApp as a reminder. Two weeks after watching the short animated film, the link to the survey form will be shared online via WhatsApp, and final evaluations will be conducted. Pregnant women who are part of the control group will not undergo any intervention application. Four weeks after the first meeting, a link to the survey form will be shared via WhatsApp and final evaluations will be conducted. After completion of the study, the educational brochure and the short animated film on climate change will be sent online to the pregnant women in the control group.
