Abstract: (200 Views)
Aim: This study investigates the impact of Virtual Reality (VR)-based health education on preventing Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) among first-trimester pregnant women in South Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pre-post test design was utilized, involving 120 respondents selected through accidental sampling. Participants completed a structured questionnaire developed to assess their knowledge regarding GDM prevention. The questionnaire underwent a validation process involving expert reviews and a pilot test with 30 participants, resulting in a content validity index (CVI) of 0.85, indicating strong agreement among experts. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 21.0, employing the Wilcoxon signed-rank test at a significance level of α = 0.05.
Findings: The results demonstrated a significant improvement in knowledge levels post-intervention. The mean knowledge score increased from 12.5 (±3.2) before the intervention to 18.7 (±2.9) after the intervention, reflecting a percentage increase of 49.6%. The Wilcoxon test yielded a p-value of 0.000, and the effect size was calculated to be 1.56, indicating a large effect of the VR-based health education on improving knowledge about GDM prevention among participants.
Conclusion: This study highlights the effectiveness of VR-based health education as an innovative tool for enhancing knowledge regarding GDM prevention in first-trimester pregnant women. The significant increase in mean scores and large effect size underscores its potential in maternal health education strategies. Future research should focus on long-term impacts and explore the scalability of VR interventions across diverse populations, while also ensuring comprehensive validation of educational instruments used in such studies
