The Effects of Interactive Video Animation “Active Knowledge Stress of Flight” on Knowledge Stress of Flight among Third Year Air Force Student Nurses, Academic Year 2024

Abstract

This quasi-experimental study aimed to compare the knowledge scores on stress of flight among Air Force student nurse before and after using the interactive animation “Active Knowledge Stress of Flight” and to compare the knowledge scores between students who used the animation and those who engaged in self-directed learning. The sample consisted of 60 third-year Air Force student Nurse enrolled in the academic year 2024 who had received training on stress of flight from aviation medicine nurses at the Institute of Aviation Medicine, Royal Thai Air Force. The research instruments included the interactive animation video “Active Knowledge Stress of Flight,” covering 11 aspects of stress of flight, and a 30-item knowledge test administered as a pre-test and post-test. Descriptive statistics, including frequency

distribution, mean, and percentage, were used for demographic data analysis. A paired t-test was used to analyze pre-test and post-test knowledge scores, with a significance level of 0.05. Results indicated that the mean post-test knowledge scores were 22.63 (S.D. = 2.76) for the animation group and 19.63 (S.D. = 4.39) for the self-directed learning group. An independent t-test revealed a statistically significant difference in knowledge scores between the two groups (t = 3.17, p < 0.05). In conclusion, the “Active Knowledge Stress of Flight” animation effectively enhanced knowledge and comprehension of stress of flight and can be utilized as a learning tool for knowledge reinforcement in aviation nursing education.
