Objective:
To evaluate the effect of an enterovirus board game on improving knowledge of enterovirus for elementary school children in Taiwan.
Design:
A pilot study with a one-group pretest-posttest design.
Sample:
Using convenience sampling, 27 children were recruited from a single elementary school in Taiwan in June 2020.
Measurements:
Demographic data were collected and the children completed an enterovirus knowledge questionnaire. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, McNemar test, and Wilcoxon test.
Intervention:
Each experimental group of four to five children participated in a 40-min enterovirus board game.
Results:
After using the board game, the children had significantly higher mean scores for enterovirus knowledge. Specifically, the children had a higher proportion of correct answers for seven questions related to enterovirus after playing the game compared to before.
Conclusions:
Board games designed for elementary school-aged children can support public health education and help prevent outbreaks of infectious diseases such as enterovirus.
