Abstract
Hand washing with soap is the most straightforward skill that elementary school-aged children should have to avoid infectious disease transmission. Rapid development of today’s technology has led to efforts to develop android-based applications for smartphones to improve health-related knowledge. Sayang ke Buah Hati (SEHATI) application is an android-based application for improving mother’s knowledge on health-related issues. The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of SEHATI application in improving mothers' knowledge regarding hand washing and the relationship between mothers' knowledge and children's skills improvement in hand washing with soap. This was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest one group design conducted in the period of February to March 2017 on 33 mothers and students of grades 1 and 2 of Uchuwwatul Islam Elementary School in Bandung city who met the inclusion criteria, not met exclusion criteria, and are willing to participate as respondents. Knowledge data were analyzed using paired t test while skill data were analyzed using Spearman rho. Results showed that SEHATI application improved mothers' knowledge on hand washing with soap (p<0.001). A relationship was observed between mothers' knowledge and improved children's skill in hand washing with soap (p<0.001). It is concluded that SEHATI application can be used as a guide for parents to find health-related information, which improves mother's knowledge on hand washing with soap and indirectly improves children's skill in hand washing with soap.
