Objective:
To evaluate the effect of educational interventions on maternal self-efficacy in preventing childhood diarrhea in mothers of children younger than five years old.
Methods:
Basic randomized clinical trial involving 280 mothers of children under five years old.
Results:
There was a statistically significant increase in maternal self-efficacy scores after the application of the video (p= 0.026), booklet (p <0.001) and video and booklet (p <0.001).
Conclusion:
The combined use of video and booklet proved to be more effective in promoting self-efficacy than the isolated use. Thus, the interventions used in this study have been shown to significantly increase maternal self-efficacy in preventing childhood diarrhea and, therefore, can be used by health professionals as effective tools.
