摘要

背景:在美国,为了促进儿童的最佳预后,幼儿照顾者需要广泛可及、具有成本效益的早期语言发展干预措施。社交媒体短视频,比如TikTok上的视频,可能是提供这种干预的天然选择。目的:本研究旨在探讨低强度短期社交媒体干预幼儿照顾者的可行性和可接受性。方法:共有25名12 ~ 18月龄儿童的看护人参与本研究。我们在8周的时间里通过TikTok分享了32个短视频,以帮助照顾者增加对幼儿沟通的了解。我们检查了表征参与者参与的指标,探索了护理人员知识变化的措施,并对干预后的护理人员访谈进行了定性分析。结果:结果表明,大多数看护者能够持续观看视频,每个视频的观看人数约为75%(16/21)(平均15.75个赞/21个可能的赞),看护者报告了干预对他们如何支持孩子沟通的知识的积极影响。护理人员知识变化的探索性测量结果为阳性,但无统计学意义(t21=-1.357;P = .09点)。护理人员为今后的调查提供了内容和改进视频的建议。结论:低成本、短期的社交媒体干预可能是一种有效的手段,可以为照顾者提供他们需要的信息,以提高孩子的语言能力,特别是对于来自低收入背景的家庭,他们获得幼儿健康信息的机会可能有限。

A Low-Cost, Social Media-Supported Intervention for Caregivers to Enhance Toddlers' Language Learning: Mixed Methods Feasibility and Acceptability Study.

Background: Widely accessible, cost-effective early language development interventions for caregivers of young children are needed to promote optimal outcomes in children in the United States. Social media short-form videos, such as those on TikTok, may be a natural fit for delivering this type of intervention.

Objective: This study aims to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a low-intensity, short-term social media intervention for caregivers of young toddlers.

Methods: In total, 25 caregivers of children aged between 12 and 18 months participated in this study. We shared 32 short-form videos via TikTok over an 8-week period to help increase caregivers' knowledge about early childhood communication. We examined metrics to characterize participant engagement, explored measures of changes in caregivers' knowledge, and conducted a qualitative analysis of caregiver interviews after the intervention.

Results: Results indicated that most caregivers were able to consistently view the videos, with approximately 75% (16/21) viewership per video (mean 15.75 likes out of 21 possible likes), and caregivers reported positive effects of the intervention on their knowledge of how to support their child's communication. The results of the exploratory measure of change in caregiver knowledge were positive but not statistically significant (t21=-1.357; P=.09). Caregivers offered suggestions for content and enhancements to videos for future investigations.

Conclusions: Low-cost, short-term social media interventions could be an effective means to equip caregivers with the information they need to advance their children's language abilities, particularly for families from lower-income backgrounds whose access to health information about their young children may be limited.
