Cancer patients are more likely to develop infections from many factors. Infectious complications are the leading cause of death in cancer patients. Therefore, providing education on preventing infections for cancer patients is crucial. This developmental research study aimed to develop video media for preventing infections in cancer patients. The sample included 41 cancer patients undergoing treatment at Lampang Cancer Hospital, Lampang Province. The study was conducted from July to December 2017. The research instruments included a development and design plan for the video media, a video media user opinion questionnaire, a demographic data questionnaire, a knowledge test of preventing infections in cancer patients, and a video media satisfaction questionnaire. These instruments were validated by five content experts and three media experts. The content validity index of the knowledge test and the video media satisfaction questionnaire were 1.00 and the reliability were .82 and .97 respectively. The efficiency of the video media was tested using one to one, small groups, and field tests. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
The video media developed for this study included two sections. The topic of section one was infections in cancer patients and information was provided on factors related to infections in cancer patients, the impact of infections on cancer patients, infectious agents, and mode of transmissions of infections. The topic of section two was practices for preventing infections and included information on contact precautions, droplet precautions, airborne precautions, food and waterborne precautions, animal to human transmission precautions, observation of abnormal symptoms, and hand hygiene. The efficiency of the video media was 1.44, achieving the Meguigans standard criteria of 1.00. User satisfaction of the video media was high to very high for content (4.63 – 4.83), design and presentation (4.47 – 4.73), and usability (4.87 – 4.93).
The results of the study show that the video media increased knowledge in preventing infections for cancer patients and should be disseminated to cancer patients who are undergoing treatment in the hospital to increase their knowledge and thus improve their practices of infection prevention.
