The Effect of Showing COVID-19 Vaccination Educational Videos on the Knowledge Level of 10th Grade Darul Ulum 1 Jombang High School Students

Abstract

Introduction: Hoaxes and respondents' ignorance of the significance of COVID-19 vaccination can both have an impact on respondents' adequate knowledge levels. Despite being one of the age groups most likely to spread the COVID-19 virus quickly, some teenagers may be reluctant to get vaccinated due to the spread of hoaxes; the reason for this is yet unknown. Teenagers are also a particularly susceptible age group, and it can be challenging to diagnose them with the virus. Young people must thus receive vaccinations. The younger generation, who may not know much about vaccinations, can benefit from education and socialization. According to Tindaon's (2017) research, video content has been shown to be more successful than pamphlets at spreading knowledge. Method: This study employs a clustered randomized controlled trial methodology in its research design. 10th grade students at SMA Darul Ulum 1 Jombang make up the research sample. Cluster random sampling is the method of sampling that is used. Univariate descriptive analysis and bivariate analysis with the Mann Whitney Test are used in statistical analysis. Result: The average knowledge score of the participants in this study rose as a result of watching instructional videos that provided health education. There were still students in the control group who did not watch any instructional videos. The study's findings indicate that after watching instructional videos, 10th-grade students at SMA Darul Ulum 1 Jombang's knowledge of the COVID-19 vaccination increased. Video educational media has been shown to be successful in raising students' understanding. Keywords: Educational videos, Increased knowledge, Covid-19 vaccination
