Effect of Interactive 3D Multimedia Education on Improving Mothers' Knowledge of Stimulation for 24-Month-Old Toddlers

Abstract

Stimulation is an activity that aims to optimize the development of toddlers by increasing basic abilities through interaction with the environment. This study aims to analyze the effect of applying interactive 3D media on increasing maternal knowledge about stimulation in toddlers aged 24 months in Cihanjuang Village, Parongpong Puskesmas working area. This study used a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design with a total of 30 respondents selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data collection was done through a structured questionnaire given before and after the use of interactive 3D media. The results of the pretest study showed that the majority (68.4%) of mothers who had toddlers aged 24 months at the Parongpong Health Center had poor knowledge about growth and stimulation, and the posttest results showed that almost half (47.4%) of mothers who had toddlers aged 24 months at the Parongpong Health Center in the year had good knowledge about toddler growth and stimulation. The results of statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed a p-value <0.05. These findings indicate that the use of interactive 3D media has a significant effect on increasing mothers' knowledge about toddler stimulation.
