Introduction
Children aged less than 3 years experience an average of 3 ill days per month.Caregivers often use online health information before seeking medical attention when a child falls ill,In 2018, the World Health Organization recognized health literacy as a critical pillar in health promotion and addressed the potential need for digital media.This randomized clinical trial aimed to assess the effectiveness of video tutorials to increase the self-efficacy of caregivers on how to care for acutely ill children and reduce health care utilization. The study compared an intervention group receiving video tutorials with a control group that received standard telephone triage by a nurse or physician. The hypothesis was that video tutorials would increase self-efficacy and reduce health care utilization without increasing adverse outcomes.
