Resumo: | Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are common in children, increasing the pressure on clinicians to prescribe antibiotics and affecting public health This study aimed to design a health education session (HES) for caregivers of children, and to evaluate its effects on caregivers’ needs, as well as on their knowledge and attitudes concerning ARI. A generalized model of developing, implementing and evaluating a community-based intervention was followed, including caregivers of children under three years of age. Caregivers were randomly distributed into an intervention group (IG) (n = 41) and a control group (CG) (n = 51) and the HES was administered to the IG. The caregivers’ needs as well as knowledge of and attitudes to ARI were evaluated in both groups, before (M0) and two months after the HES (M1). At M0 the caregivers from both groups had ‘some or great need’ about all HES domains; at M1 the caregivers in the IG expressed ‘no or low need’, whereas the CG maintained ‘some or great need’ about all HES domains (0.011 ≤ P ≤ .047). Concerning caregivers’ knowledge of and attitudes to ARI, at M1 there was a higher frequency of caregivers with right answers in the IG than in the CG (IG =7.5 ± 1 versus CG =6.0 ± 2; P = .000). Those differences occurred in domain (e) nasal clearance techniques, revealing a higher percentage of caregivers who used correctly nasal irrigation (P = .000), nasal aspirators (0.000 ≤P ≤ .001) and nebulization (P = .000) in IG. The HES met the caregivers’ needs regarding ARI and increased their knowledge and attitudes towards ARI, especially regarding nasal clearance techniques. |
