Abstract

This study developed the environmental health behavior educational intervention for pregnant women using YouTube. The intervention program consisted of eight session You-Tube: Endocrine disruptors, chemical exposure, heavy metals, nutrition, drug effect, micro-dust exposure, electromagnetic wave, and environmental toxin release during pregnancy. The subthemes contained lead, mercury, cadmium, micro plastic, genetically modified organism, anticoagulant, hormone, antibiotics, chemo therapy, anticonvulsant, andtidepressant, antihypertensive drug, hypoglycemic agent, particulate matter, electromagnetic wave, radiation, radon, lymph massage, relaxation, reminiscent, deep breathing, yoga, & baby massage. The researcher created YouTube using picture, animation, drawing, music, power point presentation, lecture, and demonstration. The interventions will be conducted through online lecture via zoom conference for 35 pregnant women. The control group will be provided treatment as usual via face-to-face prenatal class for 35 pregnant women. The primary outcomes were environmental health perception and behavior for women. The secondary outcomes were postpartum depression, anxiety, quality of life, and e-learning satisfaction. This study will contribute to guide prenatal education program using You-Tube to enhance environmental behavior, psychological health, and e-learning satisfaction among pregnant women in the pandemic situation as an alternative for face-to-face prenatal educations. Trial registration: Trial registration Number: KCT0007006 (18/02/22), prospectively registered.
