- Abstract: Introduction: Children under five in low- and middle-income countries are at risk for negative developmental outcomes. Prioritizing brain development during this crucial early phase is vital. Innovations, like video-based interventions, hold promise for enhancing nurturing care practices. Objective: This study aim was to determine the effect of video nurturing care education on mother’s knowledge and attitudes in parenting children aged 0-3 years. Materials and methods: A non-equivalent quasi-experimental design involving pre-test and post-test control groups was utilized. Data analysis involved 40 participants in the intervention group and 49 participants in the control group. The study employed a nurturing care questionnaire to assess knowledge and attitudes. Descriptive statistics, paired Wilcoxon tests, independent t-tests, and Spearman rank tests were applied. A significance level of p<0.05 was set. Results: Maternal understanding and viewpoints were assessed by contrasting pre- and post-intervention scores in both groups. A p-value >0.05 indicates no notable differences between video and leaflet education. Both approaches similarly enhance parenting knowledge and attitudes, with a slightly greater rise observed in the intervention group. Conclusion: Health education emerged as the primary driver of improved knowledge levels. This study highlighted a significant divergence, demonstrating the varying effects of video education on knowledge enhancement compared to the absence of a noticeable impact from health education on mothers' attitudes towards parenting children aged 0-3 years.
